I'm trying to beat down a sinus infection before I get on a plane tomorrow evening. So, just some links this morning.

Katie Allison Granju, who blogs at MamaPundit, has started a new blog chronically her son's death and the subsequent investigation. 

Jeremy S. sent me a link to an opinion piece by Reihan Salam. Salam says that that kids should be learning at their own pace using video lectures and then coming to school for help with homework. There are definitely times when video lectures are appropriate, but the classroom experience (when it's done right) is a powerful learning tool.
