my letter to bob mcdonnell
First— The current bill that’s gone through both the house and senate (SB 489) to change graduation requirements is going to drastically mangle the state’s independent special education facilities. They simply do not and cannot have the resources to offer these additional required courses. Furthermore, the increased requirements as a result of the dismantling of the modified...

Reflections on Teaching, etc.
caseystudy: You never really have to know the person for a suicide to hit home hard.  This is by no means my first time as a member of the Tribe reeling at such a devastating loss to the community, but I sincerely hope that it will be the last. Tonight I had to write some BS teacher’s reflection for grad school, and I threw aside the suggested topic of “writing about my favorite moment as a...

I'm pretty sure
I can’t be successful as both a student and a teacher at the same time. Something’s gotta give, and soon. Maybe I’ll scrap the master’s plan for a few years until my contract expires and then go for something other than education?

ieithoedd: You don’t even share mutual friends. Maybe it’s just the fact that your number is in my phone and my phone is connected to my facebook and I’m assuming yours is as well, so it picks up that we have each other in our phones??? Either way—creepy. I too am creeped out by how that widget functions. It’s been recommending for over a year now that I might now an old professor from...

camerasgoclick asked: I dont do well on opinion pieces. I can crank out a research paper like no other, but I can't write MY opinions and views. I hide behind vocabulary and set structures and I want to be able to write creative and opinion papers as well as research. Plus, being a journalism major is going to be very difficult if I'm shaking in my writing as a senior with four years of AP and...

John Tyler's Grandsons Are Still Alive!
mentalflossr: Born in 1790, John Tyler was our 10th President. He took office in 1841 after William Henry Harrison died. And he has two living grandchildren! Not great-great-great-grandchildren. Their dad was Tyler’s son. How is this possible? The Tyler men have a habit of having kids very late in life. Lyon Gardiner Tyler, one President Tyler’s 15 kids, was born in 1853. He fathered Lyon...

ieithoedd: If I want a word to be a word, IT SHOULD BE A WORD! Dictionaries are linguists’ tools—to record and share the usage of words; they are not prescriptivist tools—to impose a limited set of words to an infinite number of ideas and confine those spellings. These words should be in… Nutted is definitely a word, as in “I nutted all over her chest last night.” …...

waltorr: This is hilarious. There’s a distinction between two categories of products imported into the U.S. “Dolls” are toys representing humans, whereas “toys” represent non-humans. While dolls are taxed at 12.8 percent, toys are taxed at just 6.8 percent. Two shrewd trade attorneys noticed the…
