The Chocolate Milk Debate

This caught my attention because these are the things that Boards of Ed spend their time debating. From the LA Times, http://bit.ly/5U63cY.

I like how the 10year old girl convinced students to sign a petition. Future activist in the making?

High School Dropouts

The LA Times featured a four-part series on high school dropouts. Reporters looked at high school students at Birmingham High School in Van Nuys. Very informative. It does beg the question, how are high school dropout rates calculated? How can school districts say one number and then an outside evaluator will say a completely different and usually higher number?
