Boiler Room - What's that?

Schools can get pretty heated, and I'm not just talking about the ones that don't have air conditioning on 90-degree days.

As parents (or teachers or students), I know there are times when you just don't understand the decisions that have been made and you're ready to explode. Or, maybe you want to know that someone else feels your pain.

So, here's a place to vent it all: The Boiler Room .

It's the spot on Chalk Dust where you can let everyone know what's upsetting you about education today. Maybe it's the school food, lousy math books, aged buildings or testing structure.

Whatever it is. let it out. Chances are, you're not the only one thinking it. Sometimes that's the only way changes can be made.

The Boiler Room will compile all the woes in one section. All you have to do is click, and add your boil in comment form.

Here's an example of a united front out in the O.C. Allegations of cheating on AP tests have the county looking at cancelling everyone's scores.

Anyone worry that could happen in the NRV?

About this blog

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.
