EXETER – Exeter High School English teacher Dan Provost said when the pandemic started his former student, Catherine Weeks, came to him and wanted to find a way to remain more connected to school.
Provost, having already written the text of a children’s story he hopes to publish, said he thought up a creative solution for Weeks in the form of an Extended Learning Opportunity, or ELO, and enlisted her to illustrate the book.
The idea popped into his head following a group project last year where he saw Weeks’ artistic talents up close, Provost said.
The book is to be titled “Fraser,” which is about a crooked Fraser fir Christmas tree. The tree, named Fraser, feels left out when he sees his fellow Christmas trees go home with other happy families. Then, a family living in a crooked home, with crooked photos on the wall, a crooked antenna on their car, and their son wearing a crooked winter hat, stumble upon Fraser and see him as the perfect fit for their centerpiece Christ

3-Minute Civics: Everyday due process
Published: 2/21/2021 6:30:42 AM
Legislation was introduced in the New Hampshire House of Representatives this session to make sure high school students prove they understand how our government works.
With a hearing this past week, House Bill 320 mandates students earn at least a 70% – a C-minus – on the federal naturalization test in order to don their cap and gown and graduate.
We wouldn’t be the first state with such a law, and as an educator I can see merit to the idea. But let’s be clear about something: knowledge without understanding, and understanding without action, on any scale – starting with citizen-to-citizen – is no education at all.

When I teach my U.S. History students about American elections that changed the political landscape forever, I teach the election of 1800, when Thomas Jefferson defeated John Adams, as the one that saved democracy.
Against George Washington’s advice, political parties had solidified and the 1800 election was particularly nasty, far more than even by today’s standards, even to the point of planting the seed that grew into the duel that would, three years later, kill Alexander Hamilton. What makes this election so important, though, is that after all of the venom and vin
