		<description><![CDATA[It’s a pleasant experience walking through the front doors of the Boston Teachers Union School.  It might have just been me, but the floors seemed particularly gleaming, the colors on the bulletin boards especially bright and the teacher conversations meaningful and intense. Now in its third year of operation, the BTU school opened in September [...]]]></description>
