Tuesday's Daily Brief

2010-10-05       The Daily Brief     Arianna Huffington: Announcing HuffPost Education: Turning a Spotlight on America's Education Moment AP Arianna Huffington: With the White House pushing its Race to the Top initiative, and Waiting for "Superman" sparking a national conversation about both the problems plaguing America's schools and the innovative solutions being implemented all across the country, America is having an Education Moment. As such, we've launched a new section devoted to the issue. HuffPost Education will be home to a spirited conversation about what's gone wrong with America's schools, and what needs to be done to fix them. The section will also celebrate the many teachers who, despite a broken system, are doing heroic work in the classroom. Our nation's education crisis demands "the fierce urgency of now." That urgency will inform and animate HuffPost Education. Check it out. And let us know what you think -- especially you teachers, parents, and students. We want to hear from you.
