I still miss you, baby.

Whirlwind of posts this week - from charter school boundary proposals, to a debate on the equity in school funding, to tips on grading efficiency, to a discussion of local school councils and apathy and how many CPS high schools prepare students for college. Whoa.

The joys of a three day weekend enabling time to think and write.

There are a few ways you can make sure you don't miss posts:

1. Subscribe via email (there is also a form on the right hand sidebar)
    
2. Subscribe via RSS / XML feed (for use with Feedly or Digg etc.)
    
3. Make sure you follow me on Twitter (any new post is tweeted there twice via IFTT and Buffer)

Hopefully that helps!

(site update) Added @Disqus comments to the site

Off topic - FYI if the site looked a little weird recently, I was adding a new comment system from Disqus.

A big thank you to those who have taken the time to respond to my posts and put their own thoughts out there (Cy, Jess!) - it makes the conversation much more interesting and, I think, productive.

Hopefully the new system will encourage for more interaction on the site with nested comments (you can reply to someone else's point), the ability to vote comments up and down.

Looking forward to continuing the discussion...

- Matt

Welcome

Thanks for visiting.

I've created this site out of a need felt recently to post more in-depth, longer thoughts on education and ed reform - both in Chicago and nationally. I have felt that while Twitter has been useful for disseminating information, discussion there on important and contentious topics often devolves to a point where nuance is lost, positions are misconstrued and valuable opportunities for consensus are squandered.

I won't pretend (at this point) that posts here will be regular or plentiful. However, I do hope that what I do write here will contribute to a respectful and important discussion on the future of our country's public schools and most importantly the future of the students within them.

For more about me as an individual you can check out my website - http://matthewfmccabe.com
(as a side note - Matt McCabe is apparently an incredibly popular name and so all related .com domains - mmccabe.com, mattmccabe.com, matthewmccabe.com - were already taken. Thus the middle initial here and elsewhere).

Thank you again for visiting!
