Should Fenger High School parents step up instead of suing CPS for Derrion
2009-11-18 10:21:00
Rhaea Albert, at a neighborhood gathering on violence, weeps for her 16-year-old brother, Derrion Albert, who was beaten to death Thursday, Sept. 24. (Tribune photo by Terrence Antonio James / September 28, 2009) Part 1: The Emotion   There's a photo of Rhaea Albert in the December 2009/January 2010 issue of Ebony magazine taken by The Chicago Tribune's photographer Terrence Antonio James. It's a photo of Derrion Albert's little sister with tears streaming down her face (similar to the photo in this blog) but closer up, and it reminds me of the reaction one of my cousins had when one of her twin brothers was killed in their neighborhood. Just like parents say they should never die before their...
A Little of My Past at the Paris Opera Ballet School
2009-11-15 23:13:00
Excerpt from the documentary, Etoiles, about the Paris Opera Ballet School.  Notice me around 5:30, 6:18, and 6:53!So for my last blog I wanted to let everyone know about the ballet classes I teach throughout the city, but I, too, had to start somewhere.  I grew up in France and didn't have what would be considered, I suppose, the average childhood.  I started dancing when I was 3 after my mom decided she could keep both me and my sister occupied in dance classes.  My official step toward my professional path, though, started when I entered the Paris Opera Ballet School in 1991 when I was 11.  With this decision I chose to make a long term sacrifice, chose to...
The Antitode For Test-Based School Reform
2009-11-12 02:13:00
It's not all Duncan and Gates out there in school reform land.  Last week the Ford Foundation announced a $100M initiative to revamp secondary education in seven cities including Chicago (LATimes). The Ford Initiative is relatively big and challenges Race To The Top and NCLB in several regards.  Jeannie Oakes is leading it and is a big proponent of comprehensive services, funding reform, and value measures beyond standardized testing.  I'm not sure it's big enough to make a dent at the national level, or focused enough to make concrete changes locally (Annenberg, anyone?).  But it's a clear sign that, for better or worse, the old guard isn't gone yet.  Here's the press release for more details....
Old School Montessori (1969-1975)
2009-11-10 01:29:00
All this talk about Near North Montessori has got me thinking about my own childhood experiences at the school.  Here's the class picture from what may have been my last year at the old Near North, which was then located on Chicago Avenue next to St. John Cantius (the church my father returned to many many years later).  Yep, two adults for fewer than 20 kids.  Amazing, huh?  I took the Halsted bus to and from school (and got hit by a Montgomery Ward van one day running across the street).  Paul Guinan and I put out a little newspaper with cartoons and stories in it.  Alex Medai and I obsessed over World War II and spoke with English accents...

School janitor suing Board of Education and CPS for dropping a fan on her f
2009-11-06 00:00:00
A school janitor is suing the Chicago Board of Education and Chicago Public Schools after a portable heater/fan was dropped on her foot. Yolanda Hallom says that on November 14, 2008, while working at Roswell B. Mason Elementary School as a janitor, "an agent and/or servant" of the defendants was carrying a portable heater/fan that dropped on her foot. Hallom asserts that the defendants were negligent when they, among other things, "carelessly and negligently dropped a heavy item upon plaintiff." Yolanda's husband, Tracy, is also suing for loss of consortium. Read the complaint after the jump. Follow me on Twitter at jenfernicola....
People: California Foundation Snags School Reform Guru
2009-11-05 16:12:00
First the Carnegie Foundation picked a new president Tony Bryk (instead of Linda Darling Hammond).  Then the foundation came up with a whole new set of priorities (something about community colleges, I think). Now they're bringing John Ayers, one of Chicago's best-known education connectors out to make things really work.  In Chicago, Ayers was longtime head of LQE, a pro-charter nonprofit, and then helped with Greg Richmond's National Association of Charter School Authorizers. Most recently, he helped launch Union Park High Schools, an effort to bring unionized charter schools to Chicago.  Bryk and Ayers know each other from the bad old days when they worked on the Chicago Consortium on School Research, a quasi-independent research outfit that other cities like NYC...
Obama Pimps Malia Out In Madison School Speech
2009-11-05 15:42:00
Barack Obama gets slews of positive press for being a great dad, so what's he doing using his daughter Malia's up-and-down grades in a highly publicized post-election day education speech at a charter school in Madison, WI?  I'm not exactly sure.  In essence, Obama tells about how Malia brought some mediocre grades that she thought were OK, but that once it was clear that only excellence was acceptable she got it.  "She told me, 'I just like having knowledge,' " Obama said. "What had happened is that now she wanted it more than us." Gak.  The anecdote wasn't in his prepared remarks, which is extremely unusual for Obama (who uses a telepompter pretty much everywhere he goes).  It wasn't really...

[From JONATHAN TURLEY] We have been discussing the propriety of public schools putting on worshipful performances about President Barack Obama.

Board Reverses Itself On Avondale Montessori School
2009-11-01 18:53:00
Never one to miss out on an opportunity to disappoint parents and undercut positive momentum, the Board of Education is shafting a seemingly well-organized and appealing effort to start a Montessori school in Avondale.  Word's out that the CPS Office of New Schools, now under the control of newcomer Leigh McGuinan, has reversed course on supporting a charter proposal from the Avondale Montessori folks that Megan Cottrell profiled here a few weeks ago.  See details below.At the time, it seemed like Avondale was going to get a positive recommendation from ONS and an easy approval from the Board.  What happened?  Maybe the Avondale folks were counting their chickens before they were hatched.  Maybe they were just caught in the changeover...
My Experience as "Principal for a Day" at Fenger High School

If you follow me on twitter (click here to follow if don't), you are probably used to seeing the behind the scenes craziness of my life, as I explore the beauty of Chicago's character, art, entertainment & cultural scene. But no matter how random, I am sure like most, you were not expecting to see me as "Principal for a Day" at the much talked about Chicago Public School, Fenger. I first heard about Fenger when I was being interviewed live on cnn from Copenhagen on oct. 3rd about the olympic decision... as I was being patched in live via skyp from my hotel room, waiting to go on, I could shockingly hear in the background that there was...

Catastrophe Or Opportunity? Chicago's First Unionized Charter School
2009-10-30 19:15:00
Teachers at three Chicago charter schools (Civitas' Ralph Ellison Campus, Northtown Academy and Wrightwood Campus) voted overwhelmingly to ratify their contract, according to this press release from Chicago ACTS, making them the first charter schools in the city to become unionized.  Roughly 140 teachers and staff are included.  Whether others will follow is anyone's guess.  Union Park is likely to do so.  Which of the aspirants to become CTU president will support the unionized charter movement and which will oppose it is another question.  More important over the long term is the issue of whether unions and charters can work together to create something that works well for students and teachers, combining the best of both worlds.  Will unionized charters...
Private School Voucher Solution Floated By Senator Meeks
2009-10-29 18:05:00
Is it a stunt, a sincere change of heart, or a turning point for city politics?  State senator and reverend James Meeks writes in the Tribune today that private school vouchers that would help pay for parochial or private tuition might be needed to give parents a way to get quality education for their children (and create real changes in the school district). "For the first time in my personal and political career, I am exploring the idea of vouchers and charter schools to help facilitate choice and enhance academic performance. Why should we continue to make investments in a system that is bankrupt and weighed down with bureaucracy?"As you may recall, Meeks compared the Chicago Teachers Union to a...
Recall issued for high school students who read 'Soul on Ice'
2009-10-29 04:07:00
The American Association of High School Principals and Administrators has issued a recall on students who read the late Black Panther activist Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice, a book that chronicled black rage in the 1960s. High school students who were assigned Soul on Ice from its publication in 1968 until Cleaver's repudiation of his Black Panther past in 1975 may contain a dormant ideology that could erupt at any time, according to Dante Van Cleave, an association spokesman....

New: School-By-School Incident Report Data
2009-10-16 02:06:00
Here is the previously-unreleased incident report data that Catalyst's Sarah Karp first wrote about on Wednesday, showing that "violent incidents inside or on the grounds of Chicago's high schools rose by almost 20 percent." Catalyst is doing some sort of fancy analysis of the data, but meantime I thought that some of you might want to see the data for yourselves and check what the numbers look like for your schools.  You can download the spreadhsheet here: HS Code of Conduct aggregates 20090917 2006-2009.xlsx.Have fun.  But remember:  Interpret with caution. School size, demographics, definitional issues, data gaps, and changes in reporting practices all affect the numbers. For example, the sort I did of schools below based on 0809 incidents is probably meaningless...
Most Insufferable Prep School Alumni (& Parents): Lab, Parker, Or Lati
2009-10-15 16:44:00
I'm not sure that Labbies are the worst of all when it comes to insufferable private school alums and parents -- at least not over time. For example, everyone knows that Latin alums and parents are (most of them) complete jerks. And Parker? Well, there's a reason that school experienced one of the city's first swine flu outbreaks. Parker alums and parents are the worst of all.

I recently had the chance to talk with Mould on the telephone to get a feeling of what this hard working musician has been doing, where he's been and what he has planned for the future.

Chicago Public high school fight brings back memories of past rival high sc
2009-10-06 17:46:00
As much as I wish Chicago Tribune reporters Azam Ahmed, Kristen Mack and Annie Sweeney didn't have to report on stories like "Fenger kids tell why they fight" and that the Derrion Albert murder hadn't occurred altogether, I think it's a step in the right direction to let these kids speak up. This article gave these kids the opportunity to tell their side instead of the police brushing it off as "gang related." Fenger student Vashion Bullock's question, "How many times you want me to walk away? We've been running for so long and we're tired of running" struck a chord. But it was one sentence on the second page that really brought back my own high school memories:...

Green School Primer [Giveaway]
2009-09-21 11:30:00
We have three copies of this book, which we will give away to three random commenters at the end of Friday, September 25, 2009.* What kind of school did you grow up learning in?  During those formative years, did you have the opportunity to learn in a sustainable and architecturally significant environment?  Think back to those days when your mind wandered.  Would you ponder the exposed woodwork?  Or the expansive windows?  Or the structural steel?  Like many students, maybe you didn't have the opportunity to learn in a green school or anything of the sort, and that's where the Green School Primer comes in.  The Green School Primer is a new book that's been written to educate anyone -- whether a board member, teacher, student, or parent --  about the benefits of green schools. In the Green School Primer, LPA Architects shares its many years of experience with designing green schools.  LPA explains its own planning and design principles and strategies, the bene...

She can be clingy with me when faced with a new situation or with new people. Once she sees that she is safe, she warms up quite quickly. But until the thaw has begun? She wants no part of anything.A prime example was Kindergarten orientation. She cried. She clung. She refused to go to school. When the children lined up with their new teacher to be taken on a tour, she begged for me to go. I walked along with her to her classroom and stopped at the door. She went right in and that was that. She came back skipping and waving.She continued going to school every day with a smile on her face. Then on Thursday, R. got the rug pulled out from underneath her tiny body.The teacher's voicemail explained that a new student had joined their class and R. became extremely upset.My brow furrowed.Mrs. C....
