Arne Duncan RESPECT-ing plastic surgery?

Adrienne King
2.28.2012
  • The U.S. Department of Education announces another round of Race to the Top, this one aimed at RESPECT-ing teachers.
  • Teach for America is finally making the move to Ohio.  Cincinnati Public Schools are allowing TFA candidates to interview for one position: an elementary school Spanish teacher.  Right now, it’s just one position, but it allows TFA candidates to interview for other openings in the greater southwest Ohio area.
  • U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has taken his speaking engagements all the way to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.  Arne also proved he is well-versed in two types of schooling: Ed Reform and basketball. 
  • To make up for low salaries, the Buffalo Teachers Federation has an insurance plan that covers cosmetic surgery.
