Gadfly Bites 9/23/22—Creativity

  1. Another fathers walk? Yes, please! I miss it sooo much! (Cleveland 19 News, 9/22/22)

  2. The Dayton Daily News is keen to compare local charter schools’ report cards to the district and its individual schools (kudos for the closer-to-apples comparison than is typical). And while they give credit to charters where it’s due, I feel like the point of report cards is to identify weak spots wherever they are and to aim higher in the future. (Dayton Daily News, 9/22/22) Sometimes, report card readers get creative…both in their analysis and in their rhetoric. (Cleveland.com, 9/21/22) Sometimes, they get REAL creative. (Ideastream, 9/21/22)

  3. Finally this week, in contravention of the bad news we’ve been hearing from Catholic schools across the country recently, leaders at Bishop Flaget School in Chillicothe have some big dreams to expand—not only into pre-K but also into high school! That would be a huge benefit for students in the small town/rural communities in that area. Fingers crossed for their effort! (Chillicothe Gazette, 9/22/22)
