...undermines the pedagogical aims of elementary education. In the same way that the state does not tell universities what to teach, or hold them accountable to strict standards, primary education, even in public schools, should cede more control to teachers, principals, parents, and communities. Rather than focusing on students achievement as measured on the MCAS, educators should exercise their freedom and responsibility to focus on student learning.

...parted in front of me.”On a Crimson team full of dynamic scoring threats, opposing teams often overlook Cahow, a defenseman. As she has done throughout the season, Cahow made the Saints pay for the blunder yesterday.“I think the tendency is to focus on high-scoring forward players and I think St. Lawrence was looking to take out our top forwards like [juniors Jenny Brine] and Sarah Vaillancourt,” Cahow said. “I was able to see daylight at the end of the tunnel.

...midst of a liberal arts university.” The SEAS currently comprises three concentrations—engineering sciences, applied math, and computer science—that presently enroll 310 undergraduates, according to the Harvard College Facebook. The move is the latest example of an increasing University focus on connections between disciplines, a theme that has led to the development of cross-campus planning committees in science and bioengineering. “Partly what it means to be a school of engineering is to increase our strength in areas where we have not invested before,” Faust said...
