Joanne Jacobs In Philly

Joanne Jacobs continues her trip to the east with a book-signing in Philadelphia:

Philadelphians, remember to come by on Wednesday, May 17 at 5:30 pm for an Our School reading at Russell Byers Charter School, 1911 Arch St. in Center City. I'm hoping guests will donate a children's book -- there will be children's books on sale -- to the elementary school's library.

We ourselves bought two copies of Jacobs' book, Our School. It's a great read and we recommend it for anyone who is interested in public education and its reform. ------------------------------Contributions for this week's edition of The Carnival Of Education are due tonight.
