Three Articles on Education from the NYTimes

Our house is still without power and utilities so updates to the blog will continue to be sporadic, but I wanted to briefly share three articles published recently in the New York Times.

The first, "In a Standardized Era, a Creative School Is Forced to Be More So", is a feature on Oyster River Middle School and includes interviews with English teacher Linda Rief and Principal Jay Richard.

The second, "In Classroom of Future, Stagnant Scores", takes a balanced, but critical look at the adoption and success of technology in the classroom.

Finally, "A Silicon Valley School That Doesn’t Compute" is a feature on the Waldorf School of the Peninsula in Silicon Valley where technology is eschewed in the classroom and discouraged at home.
