I’m going to use a partner test on Friday with my College in the High School students. I’ve done this before without any trouble. Have you ever done this? How did it go? Did you have to set up special parameters?

I often comment that educational solutions cannot solely be a responsibility of the schools. Communities must take the reigns and help solve many of the dilemmas facing education, and the ETS seems to agree with me that poverty may be the largest obstacle to overcome when creating academic success.

I have found that I am pretty good at putting Lego sets together. Sure, there are directions included for a seven year old, but assembling a set of over 200 pieces into something that actually resembles the picture on the box makes me happy enough to do a cartwheel.

A few of my teacher friends and their families are coming over tomorrow to barbecue, to watch the NCAA tournament games, and to play some games. Then the wives are having a night out while the guys take care of the kids. Should be a blast, especially after we put the little ones to bed [...]
