Waving At The Weeklies

As usual, I'm too lazy and tired to read them all all the way through, but there are some good recaps and missed stories in the PEN NewsBlast (re segregation, for example), some timely news and trend pieces in EdWeek (like about the NSTA controversy) and some well-written analysis in The Gadfly. What I would do for someone else to read and boil down these three. Have at it.
