Notebook
It was a sultry, oppressive evening. For the boys, it was a time for open-neck, short-sleeve shirts. For the girls, it was a case of the skimpier the better, subject to individual concepts of modesty. It could have been a particularly intemperate part of Southern Europe or Greece or anywhere in the world where air-conditioning was de rigueur, rather than a luxury. It was the South coast of England, Brighton, in August.

Chanute Field
The Ivory-billed Woodpecker has flown. Lord to God I wish it was not true, but now I have to tell his story. After all, he left me $20,000. And a stamp collection, a Boy Scout Handbook from the 1930s, a metal-encased pocket bible from WWII, and a little black book that looks its age -- eighty years, if it was eighteen years younger than he.

Strange Mr. Keller
Strange Mr. Keller By Tanya Curran I had a teacher named Mr. Keller for Science in High School. He was a middle-aged man in his late 40’s. He was a stupendous, little man with slightly grey hair, he was balding, and wore glasses. He had a hardy laugh, and great vigor for teaching the subject of science. He was also a bit quirky at times. He would wear a pocket protector full of pens in his shirt and line them of according to height with a little black notebook tucked snuggly behind the pens, and he snorted whenever he laughed. He was not much in the way of fashion, but had a very studious air about him. He would always go out of his way to help you understand anything you had a problem with in his class. He was a very kind man. He started acting surprisingly suspicious though in the latter part of the year. He would pop up out of nowhere. It was like one minute he was there, and the next nowhere to be found. A few occasions I caught him walking out of the janitor’s maintenance closet. “Why would he be in there?”, I wondered.

Hammad KhalidPublished about 13 hours ago in EducationMy Top 7 Books About Writing
I grew up learning how to write in grade school and high school. But the way they taught us to write, didn’t make any sense to me. We were taught to write relying on The Gospel According to the MLA Handbook. This was the way to write research papers and the way our college professors would want us to write papers. It wasn’t until I got to college until I learned just how wrong those words were.

Hair thrown in a messy bun to disguise the shine of grease, Ms. Sato shuffled into her classroom. Dumping her backpack, binders and cloth grocery bag she exhaled, exhausted. If energy had existed within her body, she would have laughed at the overwhelming feeling of exasperation and isolation.

Excellence In Education As A National Priority
Learning is a complex process. We learn by building on past experiences; by trial and error; by starting with simple tasks and combining them over time to accomplish more complex tasks; and, by gaining insight and understanding of the relationship between various parts of a problem. Research demonstrates that for teaching to be effective, a learner must be able to create meaningful relevant patterns. The process of learning must be maintained within a context of appropriate and challenging standards.
