In a post entitled Meatloaf Again? on the Quaglia Institute for Student Aspirations blog, Michael Corso illuminates the highlights of the issue with clarity and a great analogy. In Sunday's Philadelphia Inquirer, an opinion piece by Michael Smerconish provides a thoughtful discussion that incorporates multiple viewpoints from someone outside the education field - a necessary part of any educational policy debate.
