Perhaps it's just the beginning of a new look at schools. On another note, our Governor-Elect is starting out the new year with a town meeting to discuss making Delaware schools more "effective and efficient."A new £4.7m primary school in Sheffield is facing criticism for dropping the word "school" from its title after governors decided the term had "negative connotations".
The headteacher of Sheffield's Watercliffe Meadow, Linda Kingdon, said the south Yorkshire school, which is due to open on Monday, will instead be called a "place for learning".

So, I'm passing this along!Parents, educators and other interested Delawareans are invited to join Governor-elect Jack Markell on Monday, Jan. 5, for a town hall meeting to discuss ways the state's education system can be made more effective and efficient. This meeting is the latest in a series of town hall discussions Governor-elect Markell is holding to generate ideas from the public as he prepares to take office facing very challenging economic times.
The meeting will be held from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Kent County Administrative Complex on 555 Bay Road in Dover. Please share this invitation with anyone you think may be interested. If you cannot attend the meeting but have ideas, please submit them on www.markelltransition.com.
