Healthy Kids!

As I sit here in my hotel room in Chicago - taking a break from the HOURS and HOURS of work that I have done on my AP and regular Economics syllabi for the upcoming year, I came across an article that highlights Minnesota's number status for our kids' well-being. Pretty good news, although the article does mention that Minnesota is not without it's flaws and disturbing trends. But, hopefully legislators, teachers and parents take heed, pat themselves on the backs, and work to continue the programs and funding and leadership that contributes to the overall well being of our state's young people.

Chicago - by the way - is hot and humid. The AP Seminar at Northwestern University has been a great experience. I am both excited and nervous to teach AP Economics this year. It's great to be around other passionate educators who are trying to better themselves.
