Grad rates, blind drivers and schools for homosexuals

Here and here are today's stories about the on-time graduation rate that the state department of education released on Wednesday.

And, take a look at a video from CNN that might be an inspiration for people disabilities.

Last, I found this interesting. We ran part of the piece in today's Roanoke Times. Arne Duncan, the chief out in Chicago Public Schools, wants to take a look at a magnet school for gay and transgendered students. It would be similar to the magnet programs like the Southwest Virginia Governor's School.

  1. I think that it's a good idea to have schools for homosexuals who don't feel quite right in other schools. But I also think that regular schools shouldn't be prejudice against homosexuals. They're people and they deserve as much respect as anyone else.

Anna Mallory

Welcome to Chalk Dust! This is your community aimed at exploring education in the New River Valley. I'm Anna Mallory. I went to public schools in West Virginia and now I cover PreK-12 education for the Roanoke Times.
I read way too many reports about improving schools and can speak in entire sentences using educational acronyms. I'll be letting you know about issues and events affecting your children, schools and tax dollars, but, more importantly, I want to know what you think. Let me know your opinions about issues in the boardroom, classroom and beyond.
