Let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

The education-related news of late has been a tad...strange.

I would have killed for this job when I was a kid. I doubt I would have given the thumbs-up to asparagus salsa, though.

I never knew voodoo was this popular in Japan, much less among school principals.

I remember sweating to death during those long August band practices in South Carolina. I do not remember, however, any band instructor being dumb enough to think that this was a good way to cool us all off.

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch" may be a cliche, but it's one that St. Mary's College apparently never learned.

My, Philadelphia makes the national news with such classy education stories. And it's not the first time this school made the news in this way this year, either.

The freak dancing controversy has reached upstate Washington! Rebellious students are planning to have an alternative dance that will most likely feature some freaky stuff. Best line: "'It's kind of ridiculous they are saying this is sexually explicit' when every dance, even the bunny hop, can be so, said Corbitt, a Kamiak senior."

If any of my Devoted Readers know how to do a sexually suggestive bunny hop, can they teach Dave and I how to do it before our wedding receptions? Man, my grandmother would faint.

Update: And then there's the Children's Center of San Lorenzo Valley, which is fed up with grant cuts, and no longer interested in Tupperware parties.
