Many of the stories I found related to my controversy. I
found it very interesting that the Boston Public Schools organization released
a guide to choosing the best public school the very same month Amy Mackin
released her article about pulling her son out of these very schools. In
addition, the inauguration of President Obama could have given the author some
hope that things might change regarding special education services all around
the country. Lastly, I don’t think that any global news stories affected my
controversy hugely; however, the Education World Forum showed that there are
issues around the world regarding education and how it should be reformed.
