Making the Grades – Game 7 at Tampa (London)

By Jeremy Gottlieb, Patriots Daily Staff 94-7. That’s the combined score of the last two Pats games after Sunday’s London Bowl romp over the utterly awful, 0-7 Tampa Bay Bucs . It was another rout, not as dramatic but nearly as dominant as last week’s whitewashing of the Titans. But the conclusions are a bit murkier this time around. It’s hard to say exactly what the game tells us about the Patriots given the near complete lack of competition. Watching the game was like watching a scrimmage b

Michael Crabtree catches on quickly with 49ers

Ready or Not, Here They Come: National Standards in Education

When I first heard rumblings about a possible move towards national K-12 education standards (made by Education Secretary Arne Duncan and AFT President Randi Weingarten), I was definitely in favor of the idea. The Fordham Institute had just released a study demonstrating the tremendous variance in academic standards between states, and I couldn’t believe that a student who, for example, got a top score on a standardized test in one state might not even be able to pass the equivalent test g
