The Weekend Feast: Blair, Bloomberg, and Speaking (and improving...)

A new feature of this blog is neatly summarizing education news on Saturday and Sundays - a feature that, for now, we're going to call "The Weekend Feast" because there's going to be a lot to read and enjoy.

We'll try to condense it down to about 4, 5 of the day's most interesting links. Today's posting is coming from Newport, RI where I'm weekending with some good friends.

- I hate to give Blair and Bloomberg more publicity, but Blair is getting criticized again over education and Bloomberg is implementing an idea Orion and I have often toyed with...

- More emphasis on public speaking, this time from Penelope Trunk.

- A glimpse into the future of education...

- And somewhat unrelated (but still interesting), the Freakonomics blog tackles a variety of issues.
