International test score data show U.S. firmly mid-pack (Washington Post)
"The report released Tuesday focused on reading ability and found that more than a dozen countries, from Korea to Poland, performed significantly better than the organization's statistical average in that area. The United States did not."
Michelle Rhee: What I've Learned (Newsweek)
"Right now, what we need to do is fight. We can be respectful about it. But this is the time to stand up and say what you believe, not sweep the issues under the rug so that we can feel good about getting along. There’s nothing more worthwhile than fighting for children. And I’m not done fighting."

And we want you to be there (round-trip airfare and a three-night hotel stay are included). To enter, submit the following to scrapbook@parenting.com:
