Three Kids
Seen Closely on Film
The most Rhode Island
moment of the Rhode Island
International Film Festival probably
came on Thursday night when the
stars showed up on Broadway. “I’m
excited and I’m nervous,” said
Yazmine Lopez.
That’s understandable. She was
about to join a large crowd of
strangers to watch a very personal
piece of her life on the screen at
the Columbus Theater Arts Center. In
Accelerating America, she is the kid
you can’t stand and the one you root
for and the one who brings you damn
close to tears when she stands at
the podium at graduation in her
boffo white dress and says to Rob
DeBlois: “Thank you for not kicking
me out, even though I put you
through hell.”

When to Promote Students: Getting Credit for Work Mastered,
Not Time-in-Seat
What would it mean if promotion decisions
were based on whether students have actually learned what we
expect as specific grade levels rather than on their age or seat
time? Mr. DeBlois draws lessons from how one school as made this
