    The Baltimore Sun

  2. City parks must attract youngsters

    Kudos to Baltimore for being recognized as one of the top cities for its parks and outdoor resources ("Baltimore's parks slip to 21st in nation," June 5). There's no question that open spaces and parks can contribute to a healthier, even more prosperous community. Except just having great parks does not seem to have the pizazz needed to lure teens and young adults outdoors.

  3. Is it time to quit being nice about what 'NewsHour' has become?

    <strong>(Updates at end with response from NewsHour)</strong> With the word Tuesday that "NewsHour" was shutting down offices and laying off employees, it's time to ask the question: Just how much of the this one-time PBS bedrock is actually left?

  6. The value of a St. Mary's education

    This letter is in response to Anne Neal's recent commentary, "Cautionary campus tale," (May 30). As a 2008 St. Mary's alumna, I, like many of my fellow alumni, took great umbrage to the broad strokes Ms. Neal attempts to use in painting our alma mater as a poster child of that "bloated wastrel" which according to her is higher education. Like many of today's social and political commentators, Ms. Neal takes two facts &mdash; St. Mary's lower than anticipated incoming freshman class and the college's comparatively high in-state tuition &mdash; to draw her dubious, agenda-ridden conclusions.

  8. In testing-dominated system, real learning comes outside the classroom

    It's Teacher Appreciation Week, the standardized testing season has mostly ended in the public schools this year &mdash; and what have we learned? Parents have learned that their first-graders are developing test anxiety. Teachers have learned that they need to tell parents to accept the fact that these high-stakes tests are not going anywhere. But perhaps most importantly, some of us have learned that some of the best kind of learning happens after school, or once the testing demands have passed.
