I just wanted to drop in and "blog" -- it's mostly a showcasing of videos, hence it being in quotes -- about two of our recent pieces for PBS NewsHour.

In late June, my colleague John Tulenko reported about remedial classes at the community college level, which may be costing taxpayers upwards of $3 billion per year:

A week or so later, I reported on a rather remarkable program in south Texas. Students were dropping out of HS, and the district was locating them... and offering them COLLEGE courses. It seems counterintuitive, but it worked.

I hope you get the chance to check out both pieces. I'll be back with some new thoughts on American education soon.
