No, what I'm talking about is absolutely not Head Start. The students of Head Start are preschool children. The students of Baby College are parents . It's about teaching people how to be parents. When the problem is that bad parenting sab

I wish there was less focus on teachers, and more focus on fixing the problem of how badly kids fall behind before they ever get to school. The battle is IMO largely won and lost in years 0-5, before kids even reach 1st grade. That's why pr

Meebo. It is the only IM app on the iPhone that I've found that is worth anything. Part of the reason why it works so well is that it does not maintain an active connection on the phone . Most IM apps fail as soon as the phone loses its co

We live in a time where a book being removed from curriculum (not even "banned" outright) at some random Seattle high school is a story we're all here talking about. That's not bad. Could be a whole lot worse.

This is almost exactly what I was going to recommend setting up at our company. Yes, a Mac Mini to an LCD TV isn't the most thrilling of tech articles, but I've been very keen to hear experiences of people using these sort of cobbled-togeth

That makes sense. We should rewrite the history books to reframe everything as the achievements of carbon.

There's more to explain than that. Young reader, you may know the Beatles as a teeniebopper boy band. You've probably seen old videos of them playing sappy pop like "I Want To Hold Your Hand" to crowds of fainting 14 year old girls. What yo

Bullying is, according to the media, "on the rise". You only need to a simple Google search to find an army of articles dated 2010 that make this claim. Is it true? It's my outsider's perception that there is some truth to it. It's my perce

That once-off might really demand physical defense, though. It doesn't always come as a gradual build-up. But I definitely agree that counseling proper discretion is critical. I think most "good kids" understand where the lines are. The met

I firmly believe that earnest efforts to suppress any and all physical violence in schools has created an environment where bullies are able to operate without repercussion. Good kids don't "fight". It's so ingrained into the head of the go

Because the author had Steve Jobs on the phone and was able to speak the issue directly to Steve's ear. It's not that complicated. An automated response doesn't tell me that my emails haven't gone straight to /dev/null. If I'm talking to St

I suppose it's better than Steve Jobs not calling him. I think the part he appreciates is that his complaint was heard , even if the resolution wasn't to his favor. His complaint could have gone into a forever-unacknowledged black hole i
