"School-Meals Makeover Stirs Pot", Once again self-interest seems to be in charge. Never-the-less it is interesting that just because we want the food in schools to be healthier isn't necessarily going go translate into food that the kids are willing to eat. Especially if they have been brought up on junk food and fast food. It seems that a transition needs to made that will be more gradual and subtle if it is going to be effective. Along with a serious effort to educate parents.
"The time is Right to End 'Zero Tolerence', it's sad but true that some students really don't belong in any public school but reform school. Once again the tired cliches about how badly minority student have it how when they threaten and cuss out their teachers they get kicked out of school. Yeah, so what sometimes they deserve it. No teacher wants to teach kids that don't want to be in school, are disrespectful and threatening.
What happens in schools where nothing is done about that kind of behavior--it gets worse and it burns out teachers. I'm sorry I don't feel story for students that want to act like "punks"--let'em get kicked out. Maybe the remaining students will get a chance to learn and the teachers might even want to come to work.
