...pounds lost or books read, I hope that Harvard’s student body will consider adopting a similar New Year’s resolution for 2009. Here, as anywhere, people tend to get caught up in their own beliefs and concerns, something even more problematic outside of the classroom than in. This resolution does not regard academics; I am not pushing that we all listen to our professors more. It is meant instead for the daily interactions we have with our friends and peers...
...allergic to nuts all his life, says these parents' worries may be exaggerated. The danger may depend on the severity of the allergy, but it has much more to do with the degree of contact, he says. "Nut oils or the kinds of things that might be in a classroom - it's very rare for that exposure to cause anything more than a localized reaction," he says.

There's a classroom confrontation with an African student who rises to their defense, blood is accidentally spilled and the boy is threatened with expulsion - which in his case means expulsion not just from school but very likely, given his father's sternness, from France itself...
...Teaching and Torment Michelle Rhee is to be commended for her dedication to students, slashing of school bureaucracy and belief in public education [Dec. 8]. But as a second-grade teacher, I am concerned about her obvious disdain for creativity in the classroom, warm learning environments and such important tools as classroom meetings. I am reminded of a quote by Aristotle: "Education of the mind without education of the heart is indeed no education at all." Perhaps the challenge in Washington is to find a superintendent who believes in both. Amy Trusso, Solana Beach, Calif...
