Hard Teacher

The following is a funny and slightly disturbing fictionalized story of a teacher who has no other choice but to fail his student.

The rest of the blog is funny for its randomness. It reminds me of the stuff I wrote in high school, like the essay about what Jesus was like in high school or the inner thoughts of a tree on a street corner.

Calvin and Hobbes and Ritalin

This makes me cry too, Dan.

"America's Worst Mom"

Boing Boing recommended a blog the other day called Free Range Kids written by New York Sun op-ed writer and mother of two Lenore Skenazy. The main idea behind the blog is that kids today are not given enough freedom. Helicopter parents and statistics prevents kids from going outside, making up their own games, or riding the subway by themselves, as the most recent post accounts. Two other articles I enjoyed are the ones on Obama's childhood and "stunting our kids with safety." We all have to worry about kids' safety in some form, but at what point do we draw the line and say this is infringing on our kids' developments?
