A Perversion in Philadelphia

As I've blogged over the eight months, I've tried to stay away from the political and focus on my experiences with my students.

However, I do have strong feelings about what goes on in my school district, particularly about the (IMHO) mishandling of low-performing schools. A Good Day Teaching writes passionately about the situation at West Philadelphia High School. If you teach in Philly or are simply interested in the behind-the-scenes dealings of an urban district, please read her thoughts.

Note: Her post is very slanted. For basic coverage of the most recent incident involving West, check out The Notebook or The Inquirer.
