Miss Georgia gives up title to teach

Story: New Miss Ga. bows out, Miss Cobb gets crown

She gave up a new car, a pageant wardrobe, and $15,000 to teach middle school instead. It's not every day that a teacher puts the kids first, so Miss Higgins should be recognized for this sacrifice. Don't worry, she's probably still the hottest teacher in school though.

DetentionSlip is the only education related blog to ever make the list, which includes The Huffington Post, Lifehacker, Freakonomics, BoingBoing, Mashable, The Official Google Blog and more.

Subway Bans Homeschooled Kids from Essay Contest

Story: Subway Bans Homeschooled Kids from Essay Contest

Since it's hard to market to students at home who are not exposed to constant ads in the hallways, on Channel One, and even their reports cards, Subway decided it's not fair to let them cash in on any prizes. In addition, it was rumored that the initial concept for the contest was titled "The advantages of eating fast food and cutting PE time in schools."
