The 114th Carnival of Education is live at The Education Wonks. It’s got the week’s most relevant posts on many relevant topics in education.

This week’s All-Star Team:

• Going to the Mat reports on a massive failure by the Baltimore Public Schools Board. The Baltimore Sun shows that BPS just can’t make a budget that isn’t rife with errors.
• A Red Mind in a Blue State opines on recent findings of the (in?)effectiveness of technology in the classroom. He offers an interesting twist: could this suggest that the tech is just as effective as the teachers?
• Buckhorn Road wishes everyone knew a little bit more about political history. So do I.
• A Shrewdness of Apes points out that a parent’s idea of a school’s purpose isn’t always aligned with a teacher’s. Or with common sense.
• Teaching in the 21st Century asks whether it’s better to teach process or content. I can’t imagine not teaching both.
• Scenes from the Battleground tells us to stop listening to the children. Why not listen to the adults? You know, those veterans of childhood?

You can read the entire Carnival here, including my submission about reactions to the AP audit and how AP teachers fail their students.
