		<description><![CDATA[What does it mean to be literate in the 21st century? It is an important and relevant issue that invites dialogue from educators who work with youth.

When reading the remarks of these critics who are weak [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=franklinschoolcommittee.wordpress.com&blog=656811&post=271&subd=franklinschoolcommittee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The state Board of Education voted today to delay the start of the 10th-grade MCAS history exam by at least two years because of deep budget cuts and financial constraints.

What does Elvis Costello interviewing Bill Clinton have to do with education, you ask?
