Carnival of Education open for business

The 88th edition of the weekly Carnival of Education is up and running over at The Education Wonks.

Highlights from the midway include:

• A look at whether Americans have gone testing-crazy (Going to the Mat)
• An examination of one prestigious New York high school's move to eliminate AP classes altogether
• A review of Building Blocks, a book by Gene Maeroff, which looks at renewing education's focus on grades K through 3
• some very beautiful, touching writing from the minds of teachers.

Check it out -- always worth a read, and a quick way to keep your finger on the pulse of issues in the edusphere.
