It’d be worth a shot to suggest a rotating house special. That’s an excellent idea. You tell him, we’ll tell him, everyone tell him and he’d probably do it.

When is it open and available for walk-ins?!? Every time I’m in the Center it’s either closed or packed. Been wanting to try it for years but keep ending up at Bar Taco.

It’s good, but not as good as Zaytoon’s down the road. Seriously, don’t die before you’ve had their rice dessert.

Zaytoon’s on Park Road in West Hartford. Absolutely a mouth watering experience. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. The owner’s name is Omar, they are Lebanese. Best people you’d want to see succeed in business. Their kids went to Hall, they are 100% local yet the flavors of their food are pure Middle East. Order the grill sampler and the rice dessert, you can thank me later.

Stop forcing teachers to inflate grades, test kids to figure out where they are (grade level, skill-based, can you do this…), set up multiple tiers of classes for each subject so kids get instruction within their zone of proximal development and scaffolding, then let teachers do what most of us love to do and teach kids at the kids’ level. We have an entire grade of seniors graduating this year who, mostly, have middle-school level abilities. Lots of conversations going on right now BY THE STUDENTS about the value of trade schools.
