(I did not know that CB was <i>the</i> CB.)<br /><br />I was talking about you last week--I have a new student who was schooled in Singapore, at the International School or something like that. <br /><br />Your China posts have twisted ancient (and wrong) thoughts in my ol' biased head. A good thing, as uncomfortable as that can be in my later decades.<br /><br />Always great to see your words here.<br /><br /><br />Dear John,<br /><br />Laughter is all we've got some days. And I see you've gone done written a post about that: <br /><a href="http://www.educationrethink.com/2011/12/10-reasons-your-students-should-laugh.html" rel="nofollow">Education Rethink: 10 Reasons Your Students Should Laugh</a>doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-19994082107478591392011-12-18T09:59:08.374-05:002011-12-18T09:59:08.374-05:00Genius!

The math section alone should be in the hands of every elementary school teacher.<br /><br />And it's free to download, underwritten by our very own gummint, with all kinds of input from bright folks who know which end of a ruler is which.<br /><br />With all the noise about ed reform, it just amazes me that the good research available gts so little press.<br /><br />Thanks for feeding my conspiracy theories. =)doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-72050588286371441202011-12-18T09:16:25.499-05:002011-12-18T09:16:25.499-05:00Hold on to your tinfoil hat: As I read this post, ...Hold on to your tinfoil hat: As I read this post, my laptop rested on a copy of -- wait for it -- <i>How Students Learn: History, Math, and Science in the Classroom</i>. I'm 80 pages in since yesterday. <br /><br />Lionni's fish is worth writing about.<br /><br />Anyway, a coinkidink for the holidays.CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236657531187596253noreply@blogger.com
