Pat Jewett State Standards

State teaching standards drive me crazy. True learning comes when the kids drive the content. For example, the other day a 6th grader asked me how does dental insurance work. He wanted to know how the insurance made money if they were paying for his teeth to be cleaned. Great question with math and economic principals to be taught, but I really couldn't give it the time it deserved due to meet… Continue

John Lawrence Great IT service

Like most Ops managers, I’ve come across and dealt with my fair share of IT disasters. I’ve gone the route of hiring an in-house staff, only to realize that it exhausted my budget and half the time I was paying for employees to sit around and wait for a disaster to strike. I’ve also gone the route of hiring an outside company to run my IT support, again only to find that I was being overcharged at every turn and I had no REAL immediate support, more like we were put into a “Queue” and when our n… Continue

andra D. Aviles Movie Review: Harry Potter's blooded movie

At last, after a year and half a month of waiting, I have watched the sixth installment of the Harry Potter movie franchise. I've read the seven books and an interesting essay, first before I watched the film. I intended to finish the entire series before I watch the sixth movie, just to compare how the movie will make its own identity. Well, I never thought Harry Potter films to be SO disappointing. I actually love Alfonso Cuaron's Prisone… Continue

Remix America Remix Rap: Lupe Fiasco

Here’s a great mashup of history and cutting-edge culture: At a recent Voices of a People’s History event, hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco gave life to two very different but powerful pieces of the American story. First Lupe read an excerpt from an anti-war leaflet written during the Vietnam conflict by two civil rights activists.

Remix America "And That's the Way it is"

The voice that introduced America to The Beatles, the man who was there throughout the Nuremberg trials, the Vietnam war, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Jr. and the moon landing, has now left us. Walter Cronkite, "the most trusted man in America," after whom the term anchor was coined, died in his New York home on Friday. For those who grew up in the 20th century, Cronkite was an constant narrator in living rooms, store windows and kitchen counters. From blue-lit television screens across… Continue
