Tuesday Tidbits - Jan. 29, 2008

It's late on a Tuesday, but it's not too late for some tidbits. Here's a couple from today:

• What about education? That's what the National Association of Secondary School Principals wondered in their post today about President Bush's State of the Union Address Monday night. Education had a fleeting mention in the speech, which seems odd given the administration's landmark rewrite of the ESEA (No Child Left Behind).
  

• Is MySpace Overrated? According to Veronica Lim, a student at Heritage High in Vancouver, Wash., teens could be spending their time more wisely making real world connections. Check out her guest column in The Columbian.
  
  
• Should there be more money for teachers in high-need areas (like mathematics, science and special education)? No, according to Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire. A contributor to the USA Today's editorial pages, though, begs to differ.
