White Kitty, Grapes,
Funny Cow,
The Sea Creatures,
American Goldfinch, and the Baby Bug Brigade all have an incredible head start.

Usenet
has seen
"do my homework" requests
thinly disguised as questions. With the advent of the web, the
burden of this search for "knowledge" is shifting to the
web and, as always, there are people out there eager to
mislead
and

the lazy and
dishonest. to Education by riotnrrd |

| Thursday Aug 24, 2000 | With this "back to school" thing going on, I couldn't help wondering
about pencils. And I found
lots and
lots
of
information
about
pencils.
Some teachers, trying to keep their kids modivated, even have their students
design
new pencils.
And remember, before you go back to
school
to prepare your
emergancy
locker kit.

| Tuesday May 2, 2000 | Despite the best intentions of your parents, teachers and school administrators, school often amounts to a cross between a prison and a wage-slave indoctrination center. Even those who perform well in school are saddled with a lifelong, toxic addiction to external validation. Don't surrender your childhood so easily! If you find school limiting, I urge you to explore the "unschooling" (or "homeschooling") movement. An excellent starting place is The Teenage Liberation Handbook; How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education, by Grace Llewellyn. (Yes, there are tips on how to sell your parents on the idea...)

| Wednesday Apr 5, 2000 | Alternative schooling has been around for a while. Summerhill, established near Dresden way back in 1921, is perhaps the most well-known of its kind, and was the inspration for much that has come since. More recently, the Sudbury Valley School (founded in Massachusetts in 1968,) developed a philosophy called demoractic (or "free") schooling, which has been adopted by schools all over the world, including institutions in California, Australia, Denmark and Maui.

| Tuesday Feb 15, 2000 | Standardized tests are so ubiquitous in American academic life that it is hard to remember a time when one's future didn't depend on them. While I was disappointed to find out that the gender gap in SAT scores continues, I was fascinated to learn about the uptopian experiment that created the tests.

| Wednesday Sep 22, 1999 | Resampling
is a Monte Carlo approach to statistics using
repeated simulations that is purported to be a
much easier pedagogical approach to statistics
than the traditional formula-based methods of
teaching it. If you tried to learn statistics
before and were stumped, perhaps it's time to
give it another shot. to Education by arkuat |
| Tuesday Sep 21, 1999 | School violence has been the media's favorite topic of the moment, and it has raised a lot of issues. Many were profiled in Slashdot's Voices from the Hell Mouth, and now the U.S. Department of Justice, along with the U.S. Department of Education, have stepped in, with a well written, and hopefully, guiding document for schools. But one question: Would you trust your school nurse? to Education by imploded |

| Saturday Aug 14, 1999 | Because they think that
Cliff's Notes are sometimes too
hard to understand (according
to the latest issue of Harper's, anyway)
the good folks at
Schoolbytes.com offer
plot summaries
that some might call easier to grasp, as well as
Term Papers
(such as
this), and
a quaint little section on
History (such as
that).
Personally, I'm moving my family to
Sweden.
