We all know each other reasonably well, but we will be laying out an agreement that we all have to follow. The initial contract was just "we're in this, for better or worse, through the whole academic year." We had a number o

I have a first grader. Our public school system, which is ordinarily great, has a very vague plan that begins with a hybrid system that operates two mornings a week. In response, we teamed up with five other families of first graders in our

Both can be true – roads can be more lethal on a per-mile-traveled (or per-minute traveled) basis, but with many fewer miles/minutes traveled overall, total cumulative fatalities are down. That seems to be the case in these articles.

USDR is the U.S. Digital Response[0] – a band of volunteers (over 5000 folks have volunteered, maybe a few hundred are active), mostly technologists, who are working pro-bono on behalf of state, city, county, and local governments across th

I could imagine the dynamics in Virginia being more challenging than other states, given the relatively large size of municipalities (counties), where other states often have another level lower (township, town, city). If you're trying

One big problem here is that they'll be rewarded in the rankings. A bit part of the various rankings models (US News, etc) is how much money is spent on each student. So squandering $10k more on students next year is, in certain respec

I think the modest fee allowed him to comment on perhaps being let off lightly in this case. Like, he paid 15 more than he'd expected, and while his partner was fuming, he was sorta thinking "well, coulda' been worse!" S
