Chapter Twelve: Hello, Goodbye
I had always imagined what my mother's funeral would be like; my husband and I would hold our children close while the pastor would speak about how my mother led a wonder full, long life. My relatives would stand in a group across from us and my husbands relatives would stand next to them. Close friends from high school would be there next to us and my mothers childhood friends would be there as well..
Ok so I was slightly off...I did get the part about my relatives, and childhood friends right though.
Mikoto, Sasuke, Itachi and I all stood in a line right in front of her casket and next to us were Naruto and the others. My mothers older sister; Ren and her daughter Ume stood across from us. I remember Ume and I used to be close as children, but we lost contact when mother and I moved. One thing that stood out about her and Ren is that they possessed hair the color of a rose in bloom. They were both tall and slender, and they both had narrow oval shaped faces. The only thing different about the pair was that Ren's eyes were a fine violet, while her daughters were a light teal.
"Now before we give Ayame to the good lord her daughter Sakura would like to say a word or two about her mother." I took a step forward and every ones attention shifted to me.
Clearing my throat I turned around and faced the crowd.
"When I was born my father left us; leaving my mother to support the two of us. She never complained and she never cried. My mother was a strong woman who had complete control over her life and never grieved over dads departure. I remember starting school in I would come home everyday with tears pouring down my face because of the other students. One time it had worse than ever and she said something to me that has influenced my life ever since. "Some people you can never please, so you should just let them be. They'll never be satisfied with what they have and will mock everything thats different. Right now it may seem like everyone is like that, but I know for a fact that if you wait it out you'll find people who love you for you." We had only been here for a few days, but just as she predicted I found a group of loving friends that helped me recover after the accident. I know for a fact that my mom wouldn't want everyone grieving over her death. She would want them to move on with their lives but remember how she influenced them. She would want her memory to live on."
As I took my place between Itachi and Naruto people were clapping and mothers casket was lowered down into the ground. A few tears trickled down my face as the hole was filled and a hymn was sung. Once the pastor said one final prayer everyone began to mingle. A woman with curly black hair embraced me and explained she was my mothers childhood friend, and then a tall blond man did the same explaining he was too.
I talked with Ren and Ume and as they left I turned my head and my breath got caught in my throat. Under one of the nearby trees was a man with dark brown hair, a well defined face, and green and crimson eyes....It was the man from my dreams!
"Hey you!" I called out running towards him. He looked up with wide eyes then took off.
"Sakura where are you going?" I heard someone call. Ignoring them fully I stepped out of my high heel shoes and ran after him barefoot.
"Wait!." I called as we entered the woods that surrounded the cemetery. "I just want to talk!"
I sped up and when he was only a foot in front of me I tackled him. Once I was on my feet I held out my hand and helped him up.
"Who are you?" I demanded. He smiled slightly.
"Its been so long Sakura." he repeated from one of my dreams.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?!" I yelled in frustration.
"My name is Keiji and I've known the Harunos since you were born." I looked at him like he was crazy, but brushed it off and continued with my interrogation
"Why have you been in my dreams?"
"It's against the rules for me to directly approach you so I needed a way to communicate.."
"What rules?"
"I'm forbidden to explain them, and I'm probably breaking them by speaking to you, but you are in grave danger!" That sounded familiar.
"Did you send that email last night?" He nodded.
"What am I in danger of?"
"The cold ones; we're not sure what it is, but you posses something that they desire."
"Who are the 'cold ones' and what the hell do you mean by 'we'!" Before he could answer he began to fade.
"I must go now, but please watch out! I promise that next time I will explain more, but please speak of this to no one." and with that he vanished into thin air...
'Eh..What the hell just happened?' Inner asked looking at the empty space where Keiji previously was.
'I'm not sure, but something tells me we'll be seeing more of him.'
When I returned to the graveyard everyone questioned me about why I ran off, and I simply told them that it was too much for me to handle, and that I needed time to come to terms with her death. They all seemed satisfied with my answer, and with the funeral over everyone began to go their own ways.
"So what do the two of you plan on doing?" I heard Mikoto ask Ren as her and Ume approached us.
"We're not sure yet. We flew out from Yuki to attend Ayame's funeral, but Ume doesn't want to leave so soon." I noticed her voice had a deeper tone that kinda reminded me of a woman with a french accent..
"Why don't you two stay at our house for the rest of the weekend. We've got plenty of spare rooms." Mikoto offered. Ren glanced at Ume and then back at Mikoto.
"I guess we could do that." she sounded hesitant.
"Well we're going to leave, so you can follow us to our house." she told them as the four of us headed for her car.
I was silent on the ride home, which I could tell surprised Mikoto. More than once had she asked how I was doing, but each and every time I stayed silent and stared out the window. The conversation I had earlier with Keiji still bothered me, but I wasn't sure why..
'Maybe because some guy is with some weird ass group that has been keeping tabs on you'
'Thanks for pointing out the obvious.'
'Well since the Uchihas know about the supernatural why don't you ask them?'
'Good idea.'
When we all arrived home Mikoto showed Ren and Ume to their temporary rooms, and the boys retreated to their rooms. The first thing I did when I too went to my room was change out of the dress and into a pair of sweats.
'Its been an hour, so I think you should go ask Mikoto about that thing we were talking about.' Inner reminded.
Closing the door behind me I trailed down the hall looking for Mikotos room. I wasn't really all that sure what I was looking for, but when I came across a door with a red and white fan elegantly painted on it I was pretty sure I found it..
I gave a soft knock and heard her tell me to come on in. I was expecting to see luxurious furniture just like I had seen at the Hyuuga Mansion, but when I entered her room it was kind of a shocker. Her room was set up just like mine with a different color scheme.
"You need something?" She asked coming out of her closet and sitting on the blue bed.
"Yeah...I wanted to ask you something." I told her hesitantly.
"Ok. What do you want to know?"
"What are..the cold ones?" I asked with my head down. When I raised my head and looked at her she had wide eyes.
"WHAT?" She screeched. "W-where did you hear a-about th-that?"
'Remember what Keiji said....Don't her them about him..' Inner reminded.
"Well I...I overheard some one say 'cold one' while we were at the funeral.." I lied trying to make it sound plausible.
"When Fugaku and I first had the boys he told me their story. I'm not sure if I should be revealing this, but oh well." She took deep breath.
"The vampire race first began with a man who had a genetic mutation, and when he had children they too had the mutation. At first the mutation only caused small changes, like deformities or different colored eyes, but after many generations the mutation created the vampire race. As more vampires were born the world became chaos. There was no law, and there were no rulers. A group of elite vampires felt they were superior and began to take control. They established laws for not only the vampire world, but for all supernatural beings. At the beginning of their reign some thought that they should be the ruler and challenged them assuming they were just normal vampires, but they were wrong. Normal vampires have a mix between normal human blood and the mutated human blood, but all the vampires in the elite group only had the mutated blood in their systems. Most vampires acted just like humans, but had a different diet, but the elite ones had lost all human nature and were animals in human form. They still spoke, but aside from that they were like statues. Beings of the supernatural world began to call them 'the cold ones' because of their heartless nature. It's been over a thousand years since the cold ones took control and to this day they still rule over all supernatural beings. No one knows where they are, but they still walk the earth and they still posses the heartless nature that they did oh so many years ago."
When she was finished I thanked her and left her room. Once I was in my room I flopped onto my bed and stared up at the ceiling. So much had happened in the past two weeks, but about three things I was sure of;
1. I had something that a group of super-vampires wanted.
2. A strange man named Keiji and some group have been following me and knew more than I did.
3. I was in danger..
"Congrats to all of you for making it into the show." Tsunade began. "The way it's going to work is everyday at this time you will come to the cafeteria and practice your act. All this week will be on your own practicing, but next week we will rehearse how the show will go on Wednesday. So go ahead and spread out to practice." As soon as she finished talking everyone began to spread out and various music began playing.
Looking around I noticed that most of the acts were either a group of girls doing some dance act , or a group of guys in a rock band. There were only a few solo acts and I looked to be the only acoustic act. Sighing I picked my guitar up and headed to one of the far tables away from everyone else.
After I did a few warm ups I quietly began to strum the song, but when I opened my mouth to sing I was mute. Immediately my hands dropped to my sides, and my breathing became eratic. When I stood up I was dizzy and a headache was forming in my forehead. My stomach began to gurgle, and weird taste formed in my mouth.
"Sakura are you alright?" Tsunade asked noticing how I was acting.
".....Yeah I'm fine." I lied feeling the nausea go away slightly.
Once Tsunade was pleased with my answer she walked off. Once she was out of the cafeteria I sat back down, and took a few deep breaths. Slowly the nausea went away, and my breathing took on a normal pace, but I was still slightly dizzy.
Shaking my head I picked my guitar up, and went back to practicing my song.
"So how did practice go?" Sasori asked as we all sat down for lunch. Since I had been in here for the previous period I kept my guitar with me and set it under the table.
"Pretty good. " I replied sitting down. "What did we do in math?"
"Do you remember that thing he taught us last week?" I nodded. "All he did was give us a worksheet on it." He explained.
Just as I was about to bite into a good turkey sand which I felt a hand jerk me from my seat.
"What the-" I asked turning to see who did that..
"Remember what you told me last week?" Orochimaru asked.
"Oh...yeah." I said to myself remembering that I fell asleep last week.
"Well lets go." Grabbing my guitar and sand which I left the cafeteria and headed to his room.
"So..What do I have to do?" I asked sitting down. He walked over and set a paper in front of me.
"This is what we did while you slept. Just make it up and then you can go." He explained. He sat down at his desk and began to file paperwork, while I worked on the quiz.
The quiz itself wasn't that hard; had about fifteen questions that I knew the answers to. I finished it in about ten minutes and while I worked on it I ate my lunch.
"Here" I handed him the test. He looked over it then looked back up at me.
"Very good. You can leave." I grabbed my guitar and headed back to the cafeteria.
"What was that about?" Konan asked when I sat back down.
"I slept in his class, so he made me make up what I missed." I explained.
Even though there was only about five minutes of lunch left everything was just like it is everyday, but my mind was disconnected and I was deep in thought. I was still con fused about the whole cold ones thing and even though my brain told me to forget about it, my gut told me something strange was up.
'Oh course something strange is up; according to some guy who's been invading your dreams for the past week your being pursued by some group of vampires. And according to the mother of the guy your in love with they're descendants of the original vampire and posses unimaginable powers.' Inner retorted.
'Dammit I am not in love with Itachi!'
"Sakura, are you coming?" Sasori asked bringing me back to reality. Blinking I saw him and Dei in front of me ready to go to art.
"Yeah." I told them as the three of us left..
Art had been going fairly well, but about halfway through the sickness I had experienced during practice began to come back. Once again I was dizzy, nauseous, and I had a hard time breathing, but this time my vision was slightly blurred and when I was sketching my hands begin to shake slightly. Without thinking I stood up and ran towards the nearest bathroom. I could hear Iruka yelling at me to come back, but all that was on my mind now was making it to a stall as quick as possible.
I had enough time to lock the stall door before my stomach gurgled and I felt today's meal make an appearance. Aside from the food a bit of gastric acid came up as well, which burned my throat as I kneeled over the toilet bowl.
"Hello?..Anyone in here?" I heard a semi-familiar voice ask. I felt another wave serge through me and once again I was praying to the poreclain god..
"Are you ok?" she asked looking under the door. I turned to look at her and saw a girl who only looked about fourteen. She hair long hair the same color as Neji's with one strand that hung between her face. Her eyes were the same milky color as Hinata's.
"Oh jeez," she shrieked as she crawled under the door and helped me stand up. "I think you need to go to the office. Here I'll help you." I washed my face off with her help.
"I'm Hanabi by the way; Hyuuga Hanabi." She told me as we left the bathroom.
"Wait, Hyuuga?" I asked in a sickly tone. She smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm Hinata's little sister." She explained. I nodded now understanding why she was a spitting image of Hinata and Neji.
"Hello girls," Shizune greeted. "What do you need?"
"I've been feeling sick all day, and a few minutes ago I puked." I explained.
"Go ahead and go back to the nurses office." She explained calling Tsunade.
"Ok. Thanks for helping me." I told Hanabi as Shizune wrote her a note explaining where she was. She turned and smiled.
"You're welcome. Hope you get to feeling better." She turned and left the office.
Blinking a few times I took a deep breath and slowly walked to the nurses room..
Hello everyone.
Sorry it's so late.
It took me forever to write this but I liked it alot.I made a joke with the Haruno Family-
Sakura- Cherry Blossom
Ayame- Iris
Ren- Water Lily
Ume- Plum Blossom.....XD

Gustaf Tenggren
Gustaf Adolf Tenggren (November 3, 1896 – April 9, 1970) was a Swedish-American illustrator. He is known for his Arthur Rackham-influenced fairy-tale style and use of silhouetted figures with caricatured faces. Tenggren was a chief illustrator for The Walt Disney Company in the late 1930s, in what has been called the Golden Age of American animation, when animated feature films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Bambi and Pinocchio were produced.
Early career[edit]
Gustaf Tenggren was born in 1896 in Magra parish (now part of Alingsås Municipality), in Västra Götaland County, Sweden. In 1913 he received a scholarship to study painting at Valand, the art school in Gothenburg, Sweden. Tenggren's early schooling and artistic influences were solidly grounded in Scandinavian techniques, motifs and myths; he worked with illustrating in the popular Swedish folklore and fairy tales annual Bland Tomtar och Troll ("Among Gnomes and Trolls"), where he succeeded illustrator John Bauer.
After his first exhibition in 1920, Tenggren left Sweden and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States, where his sister lived, and from there, in 1922, to New York City. By 1923, he was illustrating children's book during the heyday of illustrated books by illustrators such as Arthur Rackham and Kay Nielsen. In 1923, Tenggren's work appeared e.g. in new releases of Tanglewood Tales and A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys, as well as in The Christ Story for Boys and Girls by Abraham Rihbany.
Disney Company[edit]
In the 1920s, while continuing to illustrate a large number of children's books, Tenggren worked consistently in advertising up until the Depression; in 1936, he was hired by Walt Disney Productions, to work as a chief illustrator with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Tenggren was not only a concept artist on this movie (not an animator), but he did much of the illustrations for the non-animated tie-ins to the film, most notably the serialized version of Snow White which was featured in two successive issues of Good Housekeeping Magazine just prior to the film's release. He later worked with productions such as Bambi and Pinocchio, as well as backgrounds and atmospheres of films such as The Ugly Duckling and The Old Mill.
Children's books[edit]
Although his work for Disney was still in the Rackham fairy-tale illustration style, after he left the studio he never painted that way again. From 1942 to 1962, Tenggren worked for Little Golden Books with illustrations for children's books such as Tawny Scrawny Lion; Little Black Sambo and The Poky Little Puppy, which became the single all-time best-selling hardcover children's book in English; and "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table," Emma Gelders Sterne's retelling of the Arthurian Legend . During these years his production increased, as did the marketability of his name with a stream of Tenggren books.
After he moved to the United States in 1920, he never returned to Sweden again. Gustaf Tenggren died in 1970 at Dogfish Head in Southport, Maine.
Although the name Gustaf Tenggren remains relatively unknown, his work is widely recognized, both that in the Disney films and his work in the Little Golden Books. After his death, much of his non-Disney art was donated to the University of Minnesota to be included in the Kerlan Collection, a special library focusing on children's literature.
In memory of Gustaf Tenggren, a 9-meter (30 ft) bronze sculpture of Pinocchio, designed by the American pop artist Jim Dine, has been erected in downtown Borås, a city south of Tenggren's birthplace. At the cost of SEK 9.5 million, the Pinocchio sculpture was supposed to be paid for by private donations. The statue was erected on a tiered pedestal at the beginning of Allégatan, a main street in the center of Borås at the start of the Borås Festival of the Arts on May 16, 2008.

Driver installation failed "LGE Android Net MTP Device"
Ok so I downloaded the driver from LG for my optimus G (Sprint), and when I plug it in I keep getting that message. I have been able to root it, but I can't transfer files to and from it. (This message happened before and after rooting, and I have restarted). Now i will try to organize all the information in a list because if I try explaining it with words and sentences it becomes incoherent and I ramble, hence the more cavemanesque speak shal prevent that.
Windows 7
Front USB port (first tried in hub, then directly)
ZV9 Optimus G Sprint
Had Optimus S (Got LG software for that, Might be old)
Have restarted PC since driver install.
Message is: Software Driver Installation - LGE Android Net MTP Device X Failed
USB cable came with phone
Selected Media mode
Sadly that is all I can think of. So if anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

- Svetlana K., Italy, April 26 2012
- It was wonderful
- Maarten B., Netherlands, February 22 2012
- A beautiful experience in a small church on a great location. Very professional musician, very good performance, very inspiring choice of music. A very good initiative to bring chamber music to the attention in an opera dominated country. Classictic made a good choice, and came in very handy when I made preparations for our trip to Rome.

What was the motivation for Elon Musk to start SpaceX, his aerospace company? More than a decade ago, a friend asked what he planned to do after PayPal, which he helped start. Musk said he was always interested in space, but had no idea how to get involved. He was especially interested in the exploration of Mars. "So I went to the NASA website to see when we were going to Mars," Musk revealed today, "and I couldn't find that out."
"I thought maybe it was there, but well hidden or something," he added with a laugh.
The funny story, which Musk told today during his crowded talk at SXSW, was partly the impetus for him to start SpaceX. In fact, before starting the company, Musk's initial idea was to do a philanthropic mission to the red planet by sending "a small greenhouse to the surface of Mars" with dehydrated gel seeds that would hydrate on landing. "You'd have this cool greenhouse on a red background—that'd be the money shot," Musk joked. But how did he first think about accomplishing this? By going to Russia to try to buy intercontinental ballistic missiles, also known as ICBMs.
"I went to Russia three times to try to buy a couple of their biggest ICBMs," Musk told the audience. "It was an interesting experience. I sort of got the feeling I could have bought the nuke too, but I didn't want to go there."
He had everything else figured out for the philanthropic mission, which he thought would bring the first life to the red planet, but he "got stuck on the rocket," which was obviously crucial to the mission.
"I was clueless—I had no idea what the heck I was doing," Musk said, reflecting on his experience in 2001 and 2002, as he was gearing up to start SpaceX. "It wasn't like, 'Okay, we'll just take over the world with rockets.'"
Instead, Musk and SpaceX endeavored to develop their own technology—rather than depend on rockets most known from movies like Top Gun. (According to Musk, the government considers the technology SpaceX is developing "advanced weaponry.") And after 50 launches, Musk and his team have a better clue of how this whole space thing works.
"I thought the most likely outcome would be that we fail," Musk said. "And the first three rockets did fail."
In that case, we should be thankful Musk didn't end up buying a Russian ICBM.

Interesting topic. I just dealt with this over the weekend. I had to put down my 13 year old German Shepherd. The vet came to the house.....he explained to the children what he was doing and what the dog would feel. I told them they could stay if they wanted or they could go do something else....they all chose to stay and be with the dog.....when he died he was surrounded by all these children that he had seen be born, the ones he had always protected because they were never out of his sight. He was very much loved and they wanted him to know that so they stayed and i was totally ok with that....honestly we never even talked about it..because it was just a given.

Unions are not to blame for the severity of public pension shortfalls, but that doesn't mean that taking a hard look at collective bargaining is a bad idea. Matthew Di Carlo at Shanker Blog called yesterday for pols and commentators to stop blaming the nation's public pension issues on collective bargaining. He has a point, but I can't run with his conclusions here:
I find little evidence that the unionization of public employees has any effect ? whether positive or negative ? on the fiscal soundness of state pension plans. This, along with the fact that we already know why pensions are in trouble, and it has little to do with unions, once again represents strong tentative evidence that the push to eliminate collective bargaining is misguided, and the blame on unions is misplaced. States with little or no union presence are, on average, in no better shape.
Pensions are far from the only issue at hand. The Pew report cited by Matthew shows that, in addition to the $660 billion gap in pension systems, there is a $604 billion shortfall to pay for generous health benefits for public-sector retirees. This gap has little to do with...
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder is a new name in education circles, but not to me. Having lived in the state my whole life, I proudly supported him from the days his popular, ?One Tough Nerd,? ads started popping on TV in early 2010. In the August primaries he pulled a shocking upset and went on to win the general election by a landslide. But since taking office, his efforts to erase deficits through drastic budget cuts have left him a villainous figure to many Michiganders. These are many of the same people you hear decrying his new education plan. By introducing these reforms while trimming the state's K-12 education budget by 4%, Snyder is hoping to do more with less. Personally, I couldn't be more in favor of the breath of fresh air he's blowing into the Michigan education system, but there's a lot more at play.
Snyder's plans, while promising, will take time to enact; schools, on the other hand, must act on his budget restrictions immediately. In Michigan, a state where union membership is mandatory for public school teachers, archaic ?last hired ? first fired? policies are still controlling who gets laid off....
Montgomery County, Maryland, one of the wealthiest and highest-performing large school districts in the country, is likely to reduce its level of per-pupil spending, in violation of a state maintenance of effort requirement. This means giving up an estimated $29 million in state aid in 2013:
The county's elected leaders have rescinded a request made last month seeking to be excused from a state formula for funding education. The decision would allow the county to reduce the amount of money it gives to Montgomery County Public Schools in the next fiscal year ? and potentially every year thereafter. In a letter Thursday to the Maryland State Board of Education, County Council President Valerie Ervin (D-Dist. 5) of Silver Spring and County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) said they do not plan to seek a waiver from Maryland's maintenance-of-effort law.

The county spends roughly $15,000 per pupil, according to the Maryland Report Card, and found itself unable to cover the increased cost from enrollment gains in recent years.
The most interesting part of the story to me is the battle between the County Council, which sees an unsustainable budget, and the school board, which has been...
We don't often talk about the political risk borne by public-sector workers in traditional pension systems, but that risk is now very real for cops and firefighters in Detroit. The city has twice as many retirees as workers on the job, and that coupled with a decline in population is making it tough for them to pay modest pensions ($28,501 a year for the average retired police officer). The city is looking for ways to reduce those already meager benefits.
Conventional wisdom and the laws and constitutions of many states have long held that the pensions being earned by current government workers are untouchable. But as the fiscal crisis has lingered, officials in strapped states from California to Illinois have begun to take a second look, to see whether there might be loopholes allowing them to cut the pension benefits of current employees. Now the move in Detroit ? made possible, lawyers said, because Michigan's constitutional protections are weaker ? could spur other places to try to follow suit. ?These things do tend to be herd-oriented,?...

Ohioans are waiting to see if Senate Bill 5, which would greatly reduce public sector collective bargaining in Ohio, can be repealed at the ballot box in November. Meanwhile, teachers unions and local school districts are working fast to avoid the legislation's consequences, at least anytime soon.
Changes to state law cannot trump existing collective bargaining agreements. So until a teacher union contract expires, teachers and districts won't have to comply with the bill's provisions. Those include (among other things): prohibiting strikes; removing decisions about leave policies, class sizes, and employee assignment from the scope of collective bargaining; prohibiting salaries from increasing solely due to time on the job; removing seniority as the prime determinant of layoffs; allowing districts to pay no more than 85 percent of employees' health care premiums; and prohibiting districts from paying any portion of employees' pension contribution.
We've seen a rash of one- or two-year contracts agreed to recently as a result of SB 5, including in Columbus, the state's largest district. A few locals have negotiated longer agreements, like Bexley, outside Columbus, where teachers and the district agreed to a four-year contract in quick fashion (a single...
This morning, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute released our ESEA Briefing Book. The report serves two purposes: First, to provide helpful background for reporters, analysts, and even hill staffers following the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (aka, No Child Left Behind). Hence, we identify 10 of the key issues that Congress must resolve to get a bill across the finish line, and offer the major options on the table (and their pros and cons) for each one.
The second purpose is to offer our own recommendations, in line with what we've been calling "Reform Realism" for two years now. Reform Realism--a pro-school-reform orientation that is also realistic about what the federal government can (and cannot) do well in K-12 education--entails three main principles:
?Tight-loose? ? Greater national clarity about our goals and expectations for students (i.e., standards linked to real-world demands of college and career), but much greater flexibility around how states, communities, and schools actually get their students there.
Transparency instead of Accountability ? Results-based accountability in education is vital, but it can't successfully be imposed from Washington. Instead, Uncle...
We at Fordham strongly believe school districts can and should learn to spend their dollars more effectively. That said, I can't agree with Kristi Bowman's idea that Congress should mandate "fiscal accountability measures" in its reauthorization of ESEA:
Congress could require that as a condition of receiving funding under the ESEA, each state must: (1) help school districts create immediate, additional cost savings; (2) publicly monitor districts' fiscal health and create a plan for escalating involvement when a district nears and reaches fiscal crisis; and (3) assist in stabilizing districts' revenues for the long term.
I'm not sure why there should be a role for the federal government in this (the paper on which the EdWeek article is based seems to boil this down to "because it's important" and "because the Feds can"). That is far from the only worry I have, though. Bowman also calls for a federal maintenance of effort mandate for all state school spending throughout the country. Not only would it make fiscal crises worse (if you can't cough up enough state funding, you lose your federal funding!), but innovative state policies to save money would now be illegal.
There are some...
Recent pieces by Jay Greene and Kevin Carey serve as effective bookends on the current ESEA debate picking up steam in Congress. They both appear to dislike the ?tight-loose? formulation to federal policymaking that was first championed by Fordham and is now heralded by Secretary Duncan and others?though of course for opposite reasons.
Let's start with Jay. In a witty and amusing blog post yesterday, he proposed a drinking game for readers of Fordham's new ESEA proposal, due out next week. (Clearly Jay has seen it?or at least heard about it?or else simply knows us very well.) From Jay's post:
Tight-Loose ? The Fordham folks will say that they favor being tight on the ends of education, but loose on the means. ?Never mind?that dictating the ends with a national set of standards, curriculum, and assessments will necessarily dictate much of the means. ?My instruction for the drinking game is that every time you see the phrase ?tight-loose? you can take a shot of your choice. ?We are loose about the means but tight on the requirement that you numb yourself to this edu-babble.
Let me give you a little hint: If you play this...
Georgia is on the road to eliminating seniority-based layoffs throughout the state. The big news is that they're replacing it with a flexible, sensible option for performance evaluation to be determined by local school and district managers.
GA's Senate Bill 184 sets three basic policies. First, local school boards cannot use length of tenure as the "primary or sole determining factor" in deciding whom to lay off during reductions in force. Second, performance should be the primary determining factor in making these layoffs. The bill states clearly that "one measure of [teacher performance] may be student academic performance." That is, local districts are free to decide how much to weight to assign to test scores and the like, and for which teachers they're relevant. Third, the bill establishes a commission of teachers, ed school profs, school managers, and others to identify effective professional development opportunities by 2015 to help all teachers improve their craft. It looks likely that the governor will sign the bill into law.
Some teachers and union folks say we can't evaluate teachers until we have a universally-valid evaluation system. Some reformers cling to a magical 50% weight for student test scores (or...
