Food (and school) Revolution

There were two great stories on ABC this week that everyone in education or who cares about kids should watch. The first segment was on education reform and the moderator interviewed Arne Duncan (Secretary of Education), Rande Weinburger (National Teacher's Federation President) and Michelle Rhee (Chancellor of DC Public Schools) where they all stayed very civil!
We all have different stances on education reform. If you find the topic interesting, you may want to check out the upcoming film Waiting for Superman. I believe that it will be shown in Idaho Falls around the end of September. Regardless of where you stand on the debate, isn't it great that we can discuss it openly and rationally and then choose for ourselves?
The second segment was about the show Food Revolution. I think that full episodes may be hard to find now, but search around because it's worth a view. It spotlights chef Jamie Oliver's attempt to revamp the school lunch program in the "nation's most unhealthy city".
