It's entirely dependent on the particular school. Some charter schools are no different then public schools in their methods, curriculum or staff. Others take a focused approach to certain types of studies (math and science in particular).

The bar from www.wibiya.com is even worse. Not only is it slow to load but it has notification pop ups and a bunch of other crap. I'm sick and tired of all the sites that have decided to add bars to the top and bottom of their pages and a b

There's also a number of HN people that wouldn't be able to participate due to not having Facebook or Twitter accounts and thus being unable to have a Quora account.

That's exactly how those customers are served. There haven't been that many the FTC has actually gone after though. Another example: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/08/edebit.shtm Then you've got CPA Empire which is run by Scott Richter a not

If you are running a lot of different types of offers or campaigns other than just email it can be nice to have all of your stats in one place. I can't think of any other reason to use this over the tracking provided by any of the ESPs out

If the IPO is not till 2012 then why split it now when the price could simply go back up to current levels in the mean time.

To be fair that was posted by Shonfeld and not Arrington as can be seen in the by line. http://techcrunch.com/2009/02/20/did-lastfm-just-hand-over-u... I suppose you could hold him responsible for not preventing it from being published, b

It very much sounds like the carriers are selling out their customers location data. My first thought when I read about this was how the hell do I opt out. I'm guessing you won't be able to until the carriers are inevitably sued.

There's also a mental barrier that comes up when you see something unusual. I don't think about my expenses in pico dollars and I don't think about my important data in bytes. The worst part for me is that at $0.30/GB for storage and bandwi

It may not be any "different" to have a co-founder vs an employee in day to day operations. It may however be impossible to find someone sufficiently skilled to complete the job and yet dumb enough to not feel they are bringing more value t

You are probably correct that the other revenue sources are not negligible. I do wonder however how Google would fare if their ad revenue took a major hit. I don't think their other offerings could sustain the current juggernaut that they h

California is an absolutely humongous state and it most certainly experiences all of the seasons. San Francisco and the surrounding areas are a moderate climate, southern CA is certainly warm most of the year. Northern CA and Eastern CA exp

There's also the exact opposite issue for some people. I don't really have a problem opening up or making a personal connection in person. I cringe hearing or seeing myself on video. I can't stand it, even if I'm seeing a video of my son an

Well, tracking the kids through the grades is already done via cumulative files. Those contain grades, scores on standardized tests, records of disciplinary action, records of social services issues and that type of thing. All of that is be

I didn't think blackboard had any patents pertaining to grade books but in their collaboration and online lesson pieces. Even so, most of them wouldn't likely hold up in court now due to Bilski.

The parental access is a really small piece depending on where you are. The larger the district the more important it is from what I've seen. The district my wife teaches in just moved over to Infinite Campus and it has very little to do wi

When I was attending university there was the added issue of not having anywhere to use the mouse in the first place. Sure I could maybe use it on top of the laptop case itself but at that point it's so restrictive the track pad is easier.

Parent feedback isn't worth nearly as much as you might think. Parents aren't in the classroom, they tend to get one side of things (their child's). Some parent's are objective and some aren't. This leads to plenty of horror stories about p

I've posted about my problems with iOS 4 here previously. The 4.01 upgrade failed miserably yesterday and after a default restore and then resync it seems to be much better on 4.01 than it was with the initial 4.0 release. It's still not ne

That would only make sense if the use of twitter was pretty equal across all age groups. Given that most retires are probably not using Twitter it is unlikely that the amount of retirees in Florida has an impact on the visualization.

I didn't see it mentioned in the article but most of the job openings are not for class room teachers but special education and ESL (English as a second language). That means you have to have special endorsements or licensing to hold those

I used similar tools on my 3G with the 3.x series but haven't taken the time or bothered with jailbreaking iOS4. I figured there would be updates relatively soon and wanted to at least give it some time and see how things ran stock. So far

iOS 4 is significantly worse on my 3G. The phone needs to be restarted a couple times per day. Mail and the SMS app crash pretty regularly and everything is significantly slower to respond. I've helped a few friends downgrade to 3.1.3 since
