  1. Are You Smarter Than a 1954 8th Grader? http://twurl.nl/rbkvdh
  2. @ASCD ... and one more bit - y'all chose an "inspirational quote" by a Nazi SS officer on the anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down?!
  3. New post: A World War II History Lesson for @ASCD - http://twurl.nl/nf00rr
  4. @EdEquality .. or how the Jordanian justice system has a loophole that encourages families to coerce underaged males to perform the murders?
  5. @EdEquality Perhaps if EdEquality is so keen to address social justice, it might want to say a word or two about honor killings.
  6. @EdEquality Surely you're about to point out children being killed - not jailed - globally for being *victims* of crimes, like rape?
  7. @riggins What's that have to do with adding points to a grade?
  8. @EdEquality @PoliticsK12 There are people on that list I wouldn't trust to clip coupons, let alone "offer input" on $350mil in gov't funds
  9. Just wrote the word "scintilla" and remembered where I saw it first: on a pencil circa 1950s. "Scintilla: A Good Place to Work."
  10. @tjmeister Good point - we've neutered so many kids' basic academic skills, why not just cut to the chase?
  11. @ASCD's SmartBrief is a bit like the Metamucil of education media; it isn't tasty, but some folks still have to consume it each day.
  12. @Lileks Rumor has it Unilever/Breyer's and Turkey Hill used ancient Chinese foot-binders as models for reducing ice cream carton size
  13. @Lileks I hoped Coke wouldn't go for the "reduce consumer quantity by 15%, hope no one notices price doesn't change" gamut. Boo. #hoodwinked
  14. @ASCD Surely the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development knew all about von Braun, right?
  15. "I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution," said von Braun. Before or after he plucked slaves from Buchenwald?
  16. @ASCD Well done - including an inspirational quote in SmartBrief from the engineer of the Nazi V-2 rocket. What, no good ones from Adolf?
  17. Hey parents and kids! Join the Palisades After School Club for a fun, neutering environment! http://twurl.nl/iicu0j
  18. "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
  19. YES. Same day I look in the mirror and think, "My beard has arrived," Teen Wolf shirt comes in the mail. #deliverance #hosannah #fist_pump
  20. @ransomtech This is gently evolving into one of those classic online ed-tech "What the definition of *is* is" discussions.
