Woman gets prosecuted for "stealing" an education
noel:
Today on my Facebook newsfeed, I saw this article about a woman who was prosecuted for lying about where she lived so her kid could go to a better school.
I became thoroughly riled up and wrote this message to the Norwalk Mayor online feedback submission form.
I just read about the proceedings and conviction of Tanya McDowell. I understand the want to make a case out of a drug...

This is the big news of today and I haven’t seen it all over the place yet! The Navajo Nation (who has trademarked their name) is suing UrbanOutfitters. The suit is based on trademark infringement and violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. This is going to be an awesome case!

“When she worked the streets, Yvette Gonzales said, she frequently saw other prostitutes working without condoms. But they were not having unprotected sex at the request of their customers. Often, Ms. Gonzales said, the police would confiscate condoms when making a prostitution arrest so they could be used as evidence. And as soon as the prostitutes were released from jail, she...

If anything, it seems like giving the award to Streep wasn’t a political choice or an artistic choice, it was a comfortable choice. From Billy Crystal’s old soft-shoe razzle-dazzle opener to that timely Sammy Davis Jr. impression (plus blackface!!!), this year’s Oscars were nothing if not a pre-chewed paean to old-timey comfort.

You write that we “mistake distraction for engagement”? How so? How does it affect even mental cognition?
I’m not a psychologist, but in the classroom and in many discussions on education, what I see is an emphasis on keeping the students busy from start to finish. Not letting a moment creep in where they don’t have something specific to do, something concrete where they are actually...
