    School In Rhode Island Fires All Staff

    In our quick fix society we expect results from canned solutions. But the education of developing minds does not lend itself to canned solutions. There are entirely too many variables. Our schools are merely a mirror of the community and culture as a whole, and no group of teachers on earth can...

    School In Rhode Island Fires All Staff

    The article only said that the union rejected a plan that called for teachers to work longer hours without being paid for it. In what other profession would that be tolerable? If there is more crime on the streets than can be effectively controlled by the current police force, do we force...

    Wow, I just don't get it. :dunno:What do people want for free?!?!? This guy joins just a few months ago, and this was his very first post? The number of people who complain about the free service just floors me. :nuts: Come on, be real. What service are you providing within your sphere of...

    can i give a hug?

    Yes, I'd like to add to that and say that the amount of angst over the latest server issues is a testimony to the many people who depend on this service, both free and fee based. When I look through these forums and compare them to other forums I am amazed at the instantaneous reponses to...

    My New Business

    Only 5 letters?!? Even if all 5 replied and hired you, how much money could you make? I would hit the streets with 100's of letters and visit every single business I could find. It's just like resume's. You're selling yourself. People want to SEE who they're dealing with, shake their hand, hear...

    Access Denied

    Thank you. I checked the News thread, but didn't think to check the Service Alerts thread. Sorry. Thanks again for your quick reply. Can you close this thread before I get flamed for starting when the answer was already right there?

    Life is sacred?

    compass, I too am enthralled with life and the living. The interaction, as you say, is amazing to notice and to study. I was reading a bit about cellular biology and at the cellular and smaller level it is even more fascinating. I'd like to comment too on what Gale said. I'm not sure I agree...

    Federal (National) Education Standards [USA]

    I'm not understanding your point about wanting all students to have the same opportunities. That doesn't make sense. It sounds like you don't want 7th graders in NY to have the opportunity to learn trig because another state doesn't allow their students the same opportunity. Or is the other way...

    Social: FaceBook VS MySpace VS LiveJournal VS Others

    One other good thing about FB is something I've seen my 16 year old son do with it--get homework help from friends and classmates. He'll be doing his calculus and get stuck. He'll post the question on his FB site and I guess there's a notification that goes out. Well within 15 minutes he's got...

    SAT's

    Scholastic Aptitude. That's what the test is measuring, your scholastic aptitude, and in most colleges the style of teaching/learning is lecture/notes/testing, at least at the lower levels. It's the methods of a "scholar" in the traditional sense. That's unfortunate, but it is what it is. The...

    Life is sacred?

    Boy, that's a fact. I once got involved in a "debate" on pornagraphy, and was flamed so badly, I didn't bother keeping up with it. The person who flamed me even tried to drag my chosen career into the argument. Sure made me sorry I had ever introduced myself. Then there was a HUGE posting from...

    Life is sacred?

    Well, that is a serious question. First, let's settle on a definition of the word "sacred." This is from dictionay.com SACRED 1. devoted or dedicated to a deity or to some religious purpose; consecrated. 2. entitled to veneration or religious respect by association with divinity or divine...

    What is the Best AntiVirus?

    I have been using AVG Free for a number of years now. CNET rates Avira and AVG both with 5 stars, but the users rate AVG a half star higher than Avira, for whta that's worth. I like AVG, it runs in the background with only a minimal of hesitation on the machine, and has never given me a false...

    Forum Tools

    Yep! That's what I was looking for. I figured it was one of those "right in front of your face" things. Like standing at the pantry and asking my wife where the pretzels are. Of course, she politely reaches in and takes them off the shelf right there at eye level. thanks Adam.

    Forum Tools

    Hi There, I find that with the new environment, getting to Forum Tools is difficult. Can you put a link to Forum tools on the front page? I use the subscription function to follow certain forums, and getting to my subscription list is a real hassle. As far as I can see, I have to first open up a...

    Does Anybody Use Twitter?

    Who's got time to follow tweets? Help me out here. I'm just not understanding the draw to following someone's random thoughts and acttivities. But before I judge, please enlighten me as to the advantage of having/following a twitter account.
