More Weekend Reading
In the Daily News, NYC's Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott and Chancellor Joel Klein write about sex - single sex schools, that is. "Same-sex classes and schools are not only legal - they are also an important option that ought to be available to public school students and parents all over New York City."
In the Times, a somewhat blistering glimpse at the admissions process at the elite NEST+m public private school. The latest on the ongoing battles on the Lower East Side.
And, the Times also reports on the impact of Tom Vander Ark's departure from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The grant writers won't be sleeping until a successor is named, it seems.
