Quick links

Things I've been meaning to link to, and would have earlier if life weren't so insane:

Eduwonk asks a good question. Did Susan O'hanian really call them "thugs?" How lovely.

The Education Wonks have a fantastic regular round-up of education-related news from around the blogosphere. Go read this blog regularly (and no, I'm not saying that just because they link to me often in their "extra credit" posts).

Daryl Cobranchi has uncovered a hysterically-illogical statement by a lawyer fighting to keep unruly kids in school. Be sure to cite this guy any time you hear people picking on homeschoolers because their kids missed out on the vaunted public school "socialization" experience.

Our Horrible Children: Best frontpage image. I think I posed for a photo like that at her age...

My Short Pencil is unimpressed with the argument that red, white, and blue beads are gang colors.

Teachers using web technology in education: Weblogg-Ed.

Heathen Jenny D. starts a ruckus in the classroom.

Finally, do not get hooked on this game. I tend to play things like this in the downtime between stressful hours at work. One time I played this right before I drove home, and as I was changing lanes in rush-hour traffic I realized I was mentally lining up cars of similar colors to see if I could spot three in a row. Unfortunately, even when I did, they didn't disappear.

Update: Cat lovers with dirty computer monitors, click here! (It wasn't loading when I created this link, but I had gotten it to load before; hopefully, it will again.)
