Part of blogging is trying to offer something of interest to readers, either by creating content myself, or by offering carefully researched resources when someone does a better job.

For any San Diego Unified Parent, www.voiceofsd.com is a must read.  Yes, I’ve mentioned it before, but the latest articles are excellent and the contents will be material for upcoming blog entries.  So homework is required.  Emily Alpert won a three awards from the Society of Professional Journalists for her coverage of education issues in San Diego.  [I only won a single second place- but it was for photography in San Diego Magazine- a guy's got to make a living.]

 

Links to her reporting are on the sidebar of this blog.  Pay particular attention to the *parcel tax* issue.  I had my truck washed the other day, and the wind brought interesting information (something Emily Alpert couldn’t or wouldn’t publish) in the breeze.

 

My other favorite educational resource, also in the sidebar, is www.edutopia.com.  I just had a look over their to try to present some recent interesting bits- but it’s ALL interesting.  Edutopia tackles big, system-wide issues, and asks questions about k-12 education in a global way.  These big questions can help guide us, as parents involved in our children’s education, towards improving our schools and future of our children.

 

that’s it for now.
