Education is a national topic and does get a lot of press – both good and bad. While we here at ThinkFives enjoy keeping abreast of the latest trends in education, we asked ourselves if there are headlines we’d never expect to see about education.
Our Director of Amusing Communications surveyed his staff and they offered these possible headlines as news items you will never see in any publications. Enjoy!
