School for Sale! Minus the Gym...Of Course

For only $995,000 you can own your very own school. But what is so odd about this sale is that the community wants to keep the gym and sell the rest. Would you want it without the gym? Is it a deal or a no deal?

National Boycott Planned for Memphis,TN if Corporal Punishment Reinstated in Schools


The Memphis, TN school board is entertaining the idea of bringing back corporal punishment after a district wide ban for the past 5 years. 

DetentionSlip.org is leading an effort with the support of parents, teachers, activists, musicians, and other celebs who are vowing to boycott the city best known for blues and Elvis if corporal punishment is reinstated.

Corporal Punishment is the archaic practice of hitting kids with boards or leather straps. It is currently banned in 107 countries, 30 US States + DC, and has been exhaustively proven to be ineffective. It's widely recognized by the international community as a human rights violation and has strong opposition from groups like the NAACP, PTA, and hundreds of other organizations.

NY Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy is about to introduce legislation that would ban corporal punishment on a national level. 

You can sign the petition to end corporal punishment in US schools here:

Creationism in the Classroom



"How can an African American person, evolve from a white person? I mean, we're different skin."


It's actually the other way around my friend.


The girl at the beginning who says something along the lines of, it's impossible for us to evolve from such a simple organism... What if you showed students a vector drawing, and they said, it's impossible for that to come from a mathematical equation? Would that mean it's impossible? 


So much about science seems like magic or impossible -- thats the beauty and excitement of it all. These kids are genuinely curious -- this teacher, instead of teaching them, fails to take this opportunity to help move their mindsets forward and use their questions as the basis for experiment and learning. 


Have any of you folks run into this? How would you leverage this as an opportunity for learning?

Students create dangerous racist game, "Beat the Jew"

A mix of automobiles and a game with an offensive title doesn't sound like a good combo...it sounds dangerous. The game students created was named "Beat the Jew." It was modeled after Nazism.

Drop in middle school enrollment




Aren't kids going to school now a days? Numbers of enrolled students for an Illinois middle school dropped by nearly 1,000 children.
