A good thing that came out of that thread is I got to watch “A Little Bit Alexis” again.

We play Friday on our hallway every Friday to celebrate the end of the school week as the kids arrive. It is becoming my favorite song.

There are two types of people in the world and they’re both fans of Starship Troopers.

I read articles on whole language while working on my certification and I distinctly remember one arguing, in effect, “Sure the objective evidence seems to be against us, but what about the subjective evidence?” It was insane.

Women's problem is not meeting the same standards as men. We do that every day, and often exceed expectations.

But if you're expected to fuck Larry Summers to get ahead, it's no surprise that women might fall behind men, who are not expected to do this.

Happily, my district decided this year to go the other direction. Our elementary ELA curriculum has us reading three books as a class this year. Previously, novel studies were entirely up to the teacher, but they’re now mandatory. Bonus: the kids actually like reading books better than short stuff.
