  • Who is Teaching Whom

    I read an article in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend reporting on a study finding “effective teachers can boost the test scores of students.”  Now I’m no student of pedagogy, but this tory just states the obvious.  My personal opinion is that if you don’t know the information, there is no way in…

  • What’s in Your Satchel

    Whenever I travel, I always carry a few key items with me. These items are designed to make sure that I have all of what is necessary, in a small place, in order to be productive, while traveling or between connections.

  • What to give myself when I graduate.

    I was talking to a friend about a gift for myself after the third installment of education. They could not sway me to purchase an iPad when I already have an iPhone. I would purchase a Google Nexus 7 tablet for variety. Either way, I dont’ know what I want to get myself for a…

It helps it to thrive, and it further decreases the visibility of our plights as minorities in this country and others that… STFU, Conservatives: .::Of Course We’re Human, But::.
