...Perkinses repeatedly asked to send Luke back to a district nearby where they felt the teachers were better equipped to handle autistic students. Julie Perkins says she begged Thompson's special-ed director to transfer her son. "I was in tears, and she was a stone wall," Julie says. The family's transfer requests were denied because Thompson wouldn't reimburse the other district for the cost of teaching Luke. Meanwhile, at Berthoud Elementary, with one-on-one training and a trio of teacher's aides constantly at his side, the third-grader was advancing in such areas as writing...
...1011a, 1011b will have challenging math. But if you’re prepared to scratch your head a bit and give it your all, the class will be manageable. Fortunately, it’s certainly not as demanding as Professor Aleh Tsyvinski—a decent but not amazing teacher who explains basic concepts well but without any particular flair—makes it out to be.

...guide is often completely unhelpful, as a new professor means a new syllabus and often a different textbook for the same course. Tutorials—seminars in most other departments—are taught by grad students in their area of research. As such, they have a high student-teacher ratio, high grading curve, and even higher esoterica index. Hardly Social Studies 10. However, economics, philosophy, and quantum mechanics classes all count toward the mathematics concentration, and writing a good proof is similar to writing a good legal argument. Though official data isn’t released, anecdotal evidence suggests...
...Looking at old photos from Richards' campaigns, it is clear Texans of all stripes loved her. My 11-year-old niece insisted on being taken to her final campaign rally after hearing at school about a former teacher who was running for governor. Richards talked about opening doors for all Texans and she did that as governor, appointing minorities and women in unprecedented numbers to executive positions throughout state government and, in the process, laying down a marker for her successors. Her personal popularity rating went as high as 60 percent though her job approval hovered around...
