Just trying to figure all this marriage / parenthood / career business out without losing my footing and plunging into the abyss. Regular everday stuff, really.
Well aren't you a famous smarty-pants! Nice article and I totally agree with your stand, kids can and do cheat many other ways...hello Cliff Notes?!
I am a bit distracted deciding to whether to take Papoosie Girl to the ER...she has had a bout of the stomach flu and now is just so weak. They don't prepare for this stuff.
halle-freaking-llujah for someone saying that kids need to learn to ASSESS web sources! That has been a big thing of mine for well... um... how long have I been doing this job now? Yoiks.
what?!? we should amend OUR practices to make sure students learn?!? blasphemy. ;)
or wait...gosh...could it be that perhaps busywork done in isolation isn't necessarily a reflection of real learning OR a valid real-world practice that will serve students remotely well?
I'm an untenured university professor raising the world's biggest preschooler -- I work in multimedia and wet-wipes. I'm trying to learn how to be calm, and how to plaster walls.

Ooooh get you! Very impressive.
And I totally agree. Although Wikipedia does help with a lot of History homework...
Back to say, she ate some jello and finally peed after about 15 hours so home we stay...didn't mean to leave you hanging!

You're famous! And also, in real life, you would intimidate me.
