		<description><![CDATA[With must respect, Mr. Superintendent and members of the board, do you think that because our children are "Latino" that they are not entitled to receive a good education, a better environment, a separate building and quality?  Our children are human beings with rights.  They are not dominos with which you can play.  They have feelings and needs.  Therefore I ask for your support, to meet these needs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled across this video the other day, and I really want to get your feedback on it. Everyday Math is the math curriculum that Denver Public Schools uses for the elementary grades.  It&#8217;s a &#8220;constructivist&#8221; curriculum, or (from what I can gather) a way for kids to arrive at an answer using their own [...]]]></description>
