VDH: The triumph of the therapeutic and the eclipse of the tragic ensured that students’ expectations soared even as their intellectual and mental abilities to handle inevitable setbacks eroded. The result was a weird marriage in both today’s student and professor of arrogance and ignorance—assurance that bad things either won’t happen or can be easily addressed by identifying the right -ism or -ology, but utter confusion when that never seems quite to be the case.

Next book on my adult fiction bookshelf for the Daily Book Excerpt: The ABCs of Love, by Sarah Salway I read this funny and clever novel in its entirety during one sleepless night. It's not even 200 pages long. I picked it up because of Ted's post on her 2nd novel Tell Me Everything - which sparked my interest (also notice the coolness of the fact that she showed up and posted a comment on Ted's blog about it!!) - I loved the writing he excerpted there - and Tell Me Everything is on my shortBonefish Report: West End, Grand Bahama Island

Trying to figure out college education options may be one of the most difficult and stress-inducing decisions students have to make. Although there are hundreds of websites and books created specifically to guide students through the college application process, these publications tend to focus on the traditional four-year university. Many times the career college option is forgotten. No student should miss out on getting the best education catered to their needs. To help students make the riThis just in: The Congressional Democrats are still a bunch of pussies.

According to scorehero.com, on June 3, 2008, a Guitar Hero III player using the screen name iamchris4life completed what is claimed to be the first documented FC of “Through the Fire and Flames” on Expert.

This is amazing news for GH players, to be sure, but I mention itUsing Fellows for what they weren’t intended
So, the NYC Department of Education hires lots and lots of Teaching Fellows to support the nasty organization and ideas behind The Teaching Fellows, to use these (generally younger) teachers as temp workers, to sow disunity in the teaching force, to weaken the union, to play divide and conquer. So, what should we (UFT, chapters, teachers) do about this? Subvert it. Get them to keep teaching past their commitment. Turn Fellows, as many as we can, pro-union. Get them involved.

Inside Higher Ed has a first person thing from a person who, after 20 years as an adjunct, has just been offered a tenure track position. Some have asked why I continued to teach as a part-timer if things were so tough, and to be honest, every spring I begin asking myself that same question. In fact, I have left teaching twice. The first time I was offered a position as a business manager for a corporation that owns travel stops throughout the Southwest. The money was good, the hours were clDragon Awareness Gig: Review

Following the fuel price hike in Malaysia, one company in particular has become the target of the furious Malaysian public. The Malaysian oil company - Petronas. Some have even called a boycott of Petronas as a protest against the fuel hike. Anyway, I recently received this forwarded email from a Petronas employee.

I realize that Democrats want government to rule our lives -- to be in every aspect of our daily routine -- at the expense of our hard-earned tax dollars. They believe that "government" is some sort of separate being that should "care" for us, but they forget that government has no money of its own. Nothing is free, and when the government does something to "help," that money is coming from our pockets. Now, ultra liberal Barack Obama wants the government to pay fathers for being fathers.
