A look back at the most-read education stories of 2013 - and a request to readers

by thenotebook on Dec 24 2013



The Notebook is on hiatus during the holidays. We'll be back in January, but in the meantime, take a look back at the most-read stories for each of the twelve months of the past year. In 2013, what stories were you, our readers, most interested in? 
As you look at these highlights from the year, we'd also like to take this time to pose a question to our readers: Do you rely on the Notebook for education news?

Gifts of $120 or more will include a 2014 membership in the Notebook and a free copy of our video DVD "Goodbye to City Schools."
