Winnie Hu reports in today’s NYT that DOE Chancellor Joel Klein reversed his decision and will allow parent-paid teaching aides in public schools this fall. Not completely a done-deal, details with unions, etc. still need to be hammered out.
That’s great news for Riverdale’s public schools. For more:

Rolen Bagels, at W 236th and Riverdale Ave., and Bagel Corner, at W. 235th and Netherland Ave., are owned by the same person/company, correct? I may be assuming, but I do see some of the same faces working the counters at both locations. Now, I swear the regular order we place at Bagel Corner was [...]
