<p>I find it so sad that the biggest news articles on education this past week were one district that is struggling so much they resorted to firing the teachers to try to start over and another district that has so much excess cash they can buy laptops for every student and have an administrator who spends the entire day just keeping an eye on the laptops. That is a monumental tragedy and a statement about the inequities and misplaced money and the roots of the problem.</p>
