I have been a Minnesota resident now for nearly two years. Minnesota is much more populated than North Dakota and this results in some interesting differences. The media in Minnesota do some things I find quite interesting and are able to investigate and comment on issues in ways that were feasible in my long-time home.
Here is a public television program from Minnesota public television on education issues in Minnesota. I had long thought Minnesota was among the best states for K-12 education. It appears this position is slipping and this program examines some issues that contribute.
