This is the blog section of the PURE Reform website. Please leave your thoughts and comments here.
PURE Reform has created this blog as a forum for parents, teachers and community members to share information and voice concerns regrading the reform process in the Pittsburgh Public Schools. Although we would like to foster constructive dialogue, PURE Reform does not edit content. The views expressed by bloggers in this forum are not necessarily views held by PURE Reform.

To suggest a new topic, go to this month's post labeled "Start a New Post" and add your comment (as described above) about the new suggested topic. PURE Reform will use these comments to start new posts.
It has been over 48 hours since this post about the new course appeared on the blog. I do not count the "iso" comment, so I must wonder why the post has not seen any comment traffic?
It looks like a really good course; many of us would probably love to take it (as long as we didn't have to write papers or take tests). Maybe they can let parents and former parents sit in, kind of like the way alums can sit in at some colleges.
But, will students with AP and IB schedules be able to fit it in?
Seems like a good course. Might encourage some reluctant readers to explore the variety of literature out there. There has been an African American Civics class for quite some time.
Do you mean the February public hearing? At the end of January the pghboe website did not have the February meetings, but a hard copy calendar passed out by the district shows the hearing on Feb 15.

Off the topic- Question for Questioner - What date does the Board meet this month? I do not see it listed on the calendar.
