The Early Returns Are In...

...For today's blog posts, that is:

In a late effort to sway Super Tuesday votes, Senator Clinton has come out in favor of funding IDEA:  Clinton: Fully Fund Special Education.  From EdWeek. (The post, not the joke.)

More bogus news trends discovered by Kevin Carey:  Helicopter Parents and Other Exaggerations.  Maybe EWA should have named him the new public editor.

I don't think Kennedy and Enzi really care what Bill Clinton has to say in the heat of a primary campaign, but The Hoff thinks otherwise: Ex-President's Entry into NCLB Debate Could Endanger Reauthorization. 

This isn't new but I missed it last week: Teachers not as liberal as you thought (Schools for Tomorrow).  So it's news to me. 

The Education Report asks: Handcuffing kids: When is it justified? When isn't it, I ask?  Just like with Tasers. 

Mixing education and social services isn't that new, but it's a good idea, says InsideSchools (Wisely, new charter school to integrate education, child welfare).  Especially for charters, perhaps.   Lots of them are still struggling with IEPs.
