Learn Everywhere is really Teach Everywhere

The problem with Learn Everywhere is that it’s not really about learning.  It is, instead, about earning credit towards graduation, something that has very little to do with learning. (It’s not hard to find students who have ‘credit’ in algebra, but who can’t tell you what a variable is,

Learn Everywhere? No – you MUST learn HERE!

The Learn Everywhere program was an innovative program passed into law that allowed the Commissioner and Board of Education to create rules that allowed curriculum performed outside of the classroom to count for High School credit.

NASA has pictures of the Australian fires.

Rather grisly, as I look at them. While there are similar fires out West here in the US, we rarely see much more than a few acres at a time here in the Northeast corner of the US (in New England). NASA has a couple of birds in space taking pics – here’s a few … Read more
