    The Week That Was: GOOD Education

    Amanda M. Fairbanks

    The Week That Was.

    It was another dark week in Arizona.

    Just because it's Meatless Monday, doesn't mean you should have a cow

    .

    We wanted to know how to ensure that we are the only ones wearing Zac Posen to the prom

    .

    Nikhil Swaminathan

    wrote about a math curriculum that gives away answers and how Teach for America might train better teachers.

    City Year filed its latest dispatch about the power of teaching students to read

    .

    And finally, for his weekly Mind the Gap series, Brendan Lowe defended Teach for America.
