School Board Blogger

Janet Frohnmayer, who recently won election to the Mercer Island School Board, has a blog.  "Bookworm - Big Ideas for Busy People" is where she summarizes the interesting books and ideas she's read, including:

• The Overachievers, by Alexandra Robbins
• The Role of Parents in Athletics, by Bruce Brown
• The Homework Myth, by Alfie Kohn
• lots about Mel Levine (who I've written about as well)
• and more, mostly focused on education-related topics.

All her summaries are very worth reading.  The only problem with the site is that she doesn't post enough!
