They've got rulers, they've got books, hopefully there won't be any dirty looks

The school year is one week in and across School District 52 a new year of learning is underway.

We've wandered through our back postings for the last week, to bring together all the educational related posts that appeared in the week leading up to the resumption of school.

Since education always seems to become a hot issue in the community during the year, we'll continue to catalogue any educational related articles in this spot, with a link to it to be found on the right hand side in items of special interest.
