Weekend Reading: Nasty, Brutish, And Short
Not obsessed with the Chicago strike? There were at least a couple of interesting articles that came out over the weekend -- though none of them particularly uplifiting:
A NYT article on the our kinds of teachers (in popular media): lazy, washed up, bully, saint, ow.ly/dKCub
A pretty miserable account of the life of a middle school math teacher in LA...Teaching Ate Me Alive - Salon - ow.ly/dKo62
A Matt Yglesias / Slate post on how government programs to alleviate poverty don't get included in the official poverty numbers ow.ly/dJOyS
Also: NBC News announced late Friday that Mitt Romney is scheduled to appear at @educationnation later this month.
