Good Reads From the Weekend

I'm slow to start today, distracted all morning playing catch up on emails and voicemails and, admittedly, neglecting the blog. But then again, many of you are on spring break this week, so maybe you're avoiding your computer (which is what I do on the rare occasion I take vacation) and haven't noticed. But for those of you who have noticed, my apologies to all!

Here are a couple good stories (penned by other people at other publications) for you to check out:

1. The Los Angeles Times has a story many of you will be interested in: It's about several LAUSD campuses about to be forced to share classroom space with charter schools.

2. From the Grey Lady's Sunday edition, the New York Times' piece about the resurgence of philosophy as a popular major at many universities is pretty interesting as well.

That should get you started until I get in gear and find a few more nuggets for your Monday enjoyment. (Do the words "Monday" and "enjoyment" even belong in the same sentence?)
