... in a short turnaround time. The major reason being given for this success is the quality of teachers they were able to attract. Nick tips the ol’ hat to Megan.In the comments of Nick’s post, Folkbum hypothesizes that the gains are due to the change in population. I disagree with that. While the population has changed, it is more likely that the criminal class would stick around. T...

Let’s review them:1. Leaders relentlessly...

They stand out (and not in a good way). I remember being at a business meeting where one woman said during...
