'The Disruption Made Teaching Virtually Impossible. I Could Not Believe What I Saw' (UK)
From England, yet a perfect example of the end results of unbridled "liberalism". And there certainly are such incidents taking place here as well.
Sad, really. A "conservative" (i.e. "traditional") revolution might not be such a bad thing after all.

Cue the eye-rolling smiley.
Back from an involuntary trip to computer HADES...
...only to find this little piece of happiness!
(...especially since I'm planning a move to Austin this summer.)

Report: Texas H.S. Athletic Director Shot
This is the third or fourth school in "lockdown" in the last couple of weeks.
I didn't blog the latest school shootings because they seemed rather aberrative, and, frankly, unfair finger-pointing.
But there have been far too many now to ignore. I'm over it, and even more adamantly in favor of keeping the kids where you know, KNOW, they're safe.
Yes, even in "The Village" one is never completely free from danger, but that's still the aberration. It's the unfolding pattern outside of our "shire" that's got probability on its side.

Homeschool numbers growing, tracking difficult
"We know that homeschoolers are interested and involved in geography," says Vender. "Many homeschoolers are committed integrators, connecting content and activities to everyday life wherever possible, so geography is an ideal vehicle for learning. Homeschoolers in fourth through eighth grade are incredibly well represented in the National Geographic Bee. They represent about 2 percent of the students who return qualifying tests – again corresponding to national estimates of the homeschool population – but more than 50 percent of these homeschoolers place in the top 100 students in their states."

Teachers fear rising tide of violence from students
Everything about this is so wrong. Some great comments on the thread. (If one can't at least laugh...)
