Their introductory video starts rollin’ as SOON AS YOU LOAD THE SITE on your browser, so brace yourself. To give them credit where credit is due, they do seem to have accurately assessed the majority of their targeted audience in terms of reading comprehension and mental processing speed. There is even a “Replay […]

Not every blog post has to be a work of fine art. And certainly, many of us bloggers write badly in many ways. I, for example, write long sentences and repeat words too many times. Also I love the comma. Love it, love it, love it. I have enough journalism […]

A few days ago we all piled on ACB for, among other things, being kind of silly. In response, they closed comments on many posts, deleted unfavorable comments, and otherwise completely ignored us. Their blog, like the rest of the site, remains almost breathtakingly underwhelming. For example, if you become an AC […]

Hi everybody! I’m sorry I haven’t been posting lately, not that y’all have noticed with our fantastic new bloggers filling the void I’d left behind. I took my last final ever today (squee!) and am gearing up to leave the country in a few weeks, so things have been a bit busy. […]

If the universe folds in on itself on May 16th, I will shake my angry fist at Phyllis Schlafly and the Washington University administration as my atoms are squished into oblivion. Few will understand what’s happening and why, but I will — and so will you, dear doomed readers. For May 16th hath […]

A few people have asked for my thoughts on the TDSB’s decision in favour of black-focused schools. Sonjaa and Troubleinchina both wrote good posts on the subject, and I recommend reading those too.
I’ll preface this by saying that this is a divisive issue in Toronto, particularly within the black community and the activist community. It’s […]

…where you can get a high school diploma by working in McDonald’s
Do I need to point out everything that’s wrong with this? Corporate sponsorship of public education is a vicious cycle. First, the government cuts funding to schools. Next, a corporation approaches the desperately underfunded school to bail it out—Nike will build you a new […]

An Alaskan High School senior has it all figured out:
Abstinence is the only method that should be taught in schools. It is perfectly effective, protective and simple.
By teaching students anything but the most effective means of preventing pregnancy, we are doing them a disservice.
He’s really changed my views; before this, I had no idea that […]

Mary Grabar of Townhall fame has found the Midwest Teen Sex show, and she is not amused.

These podcasts are introduced with a sign held by a gyrating, scantily clad nubile teenager in a farm field. The porno-inspired intro ends with her on all fours with the sign in her mouth. […]

As I mentioned recently, I no longer have a day job in IT. But the truth of the matter is not that I quit to become a producer. In fact, I was fired because I claimed during a meeting that the movie The Matrix was fiction and stated it was extremely unlikely we’d […]

When the U.S. government makes changes to the public education system, forcing public schools to conform to state regulations or face privatization, it’s business as usual.
When the Venezuelan government makes changes to the private education system, forcing private schools to conform to state regulations or face nationalization, it’s a Socialist! School! Takeover!
Speaking of standards, 11% […]

“How much are YOU WORTH?” A shady computer tech school in my area begins their radio commercials asking people to pause and reflect on that question before going on to imply that a certification in information technology will be worth about 50K right at graduation, and creating a false sense of prestige by saying […]
