On WordPress blogs, you can see what other websites refer you to your own blog. For the past few days, I’ve seen a website called Haiku Learning refer quite a few folks to Exceptional Delaware. I decided tonight to see what the fuss was all about. This is an online learning school. The class that had the assignment was Social Action and Leadership. This was today’s assignment:
For class on Friday, please read the article attached below. After reading the article, skim these two sites.
Site 1: http://www.solutionsfordelawareschools.com/
Site 2: https://exceptionaldelaware.wordpress.com/
Please answer these questions:
1. Summarize the Delaware Today article.
2. What was one thing in the Delaware Today article that surprised you?
3. What impression do you get from the two sites? Do you believe they are for the same audience? If you were a parent of a public school student, how would they help you?

I guess you’ve hit the big leagues when your blog is part of a class assignment! I would love to see some of the actual completed assignments on this. Have I now corrupted the assignment by writing about it? Will Solutions For Wilmington Schools generate some out-of-state discussion concerning the Wilmington redistricting plan? I am fascinated by this! Especially the part about “If you were a parent of a public school student, how would they help you?”
