A recent Seattle Times editorial blames much of the failings of Seattle Public Schools on the current administration. Certainly, the current as well as prior administrations deserve criticism. But so do a lot of other players. Read More ›

In most of our country, geography dictates which K-12 public school a child will attend. Disregarding school performance and parental input, students are assigned a school based on the geographical boundaries of the school district in which they live. Read More ›
