    Extractions: (SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer announced today that five of the largest U.S. distributors of music CDs and three national chain stores have agreed to pay $67.4 million for consumer refunds and provide some seven million free music CDs valued at $75.7 million for schools, libraries and charities to settle a multi-state price-fixing complaint. The free music CDs are going to public schools and libraries. Partial refund payments will be mailed to consumers who submit valid claims to a court-appointed claims administrator. Details of the refund program will be announced later, once the court approves the settlement. Contrary to some news media reports appearing on this settlement, there are no free CDs being given to consumers at the retail stores. "Our antitrust investigation found illegal sales agreements being used to stifle competition and fix the prices of music CDs," Lockyer said. "Instead of benefitting from a competitive marketplace, consumers looking for music entertainment had their pocketbooks squeezed by these secret deals to artificially inflate prices."

    Extractions: Education Vouchers for Students since 1873 by Frank Heller Frank Heller is an educational policy analyst and advocate of school choice. He is a cofounder of the Maine Children's Scholarship Fund, a privately funded organization that provides scholarships to children from low-income families to attend private schools. Executive Summary Time and time again citizens have voted to keep this system that has been described as "the most valued attribute" of living in Maine. It's unfortunate that one of the best features of Maine's educational system is limited to students who live in the "right" towns. Maine's policymakers should seek to facilitate greater educational opportunities for all students, and policymakers nationwide should look to Maine's extensive experience with vouchers to inform their education reform efforts.

Wentworth talks about her reasons for opening the schools, their philosophy, and common misconceptions about them. The four-year-olds in a Chicago elementary school mull over the question: Can beans grow without dirt? After taking a vote, they'll do an experiment to see what happens with dirt and without. Some argue that these kids aren't ready for formal science. But former NSTA president JoAnne Vasquez applauds the Chicago program, underway in 43 schools: "Kids learn a set of skills—ordering, classifying, seeing patterns, and comparing and contrasting—that sets them up for the thinking they need to do later on."
