Evidence from North Carolina (and Texas) suggests that—instead of reducing or eliminating access to advanced math—more states and districts should compel students to enroll. Good op-ed by @BrendaBerg and @JonathanPlucker via @The74 the74million.org/article/why… #nced #ncleg #ncpol

This is a good reminder that civil discourse may not result in changed minds, but it can build bridges of understanding that are also important. #CivilDiscourse #NCED – at North Carolina, USA
"Our public discourse is increasingly crude, coarse, and corrosive. The problem isn’t that we disagree... The problem is, in part, that we all too often air our disagreements as a kind of political theatre." #ncga #ncpol @JohnHoodNC carolinajournal.com/opinion/…

When principals leave their schools, teachers are more likely to leave, as well. Our new analysis explores the link between principal and teacher turnover, and what districts can do to mitigate the turnover cycle.
