front pager, column debut

Big day: Here’s my story from today’s front page on East Dallas Community School, a great Montessori school founded by a bunch of ’60s idealists. It’s the latest installment of the Schools That Work series. (Even if it did suffer some last-minute surgery in order for it to fit in today’s packed A-section.)
And on the cover of the Metro section is the debut of my column, Thinking About Education. (Well, it’s not just my column — three colleagues and I are writing it in rotation.) Those wondering what I look like in real life can pick up today’s paper to see my ugly mug. For some reason, I chose a very nerdy, wonky, numbers-based topic for my first column. Don’t worry, that’ll change — my next one’s about a show on the WB.

  1. Interesting that these two pieces should run the same day. Makes me wonder if anyone charged with ensuring no Dallas student is “left behind” (at least in the realm of standardized testing) is looking around at the schools that do manage to pass 100 percent of their students. Montessori for everyone?
