Alfie Kohn

Know the name.  I have always been very interested in his philosophies.  This is something you read earlier in the year, but we shall revisit the topic again, near the end of your final compulsory year of education.  Analyze, critique, dissect.  We'll discuss it over the next couple of days - please come in to class tomorrow ready to talk about Ellison, econ, and grades. 

Ellison

I'd like 3rd Period students to meet me outside the auditorium on Tuesday.  I'll bring the questions from periods 1 & 2 and print out what you've emailed me.  Let's be nice, listen, and learn something.  Add your question here.

Every Day Should Be Celebrated Like Today

You should treat your mom nicely every day.  Consider what she has done for you throughout your lifetime, beginning with, oh, let's think...oh yeah...carrying you around for probably the first two years of your life, then driving you around for the next 14-18.  How often does she put aside her wants to provide something for you?  After making mom happy, make sure you write your question for the Keith Ellison visit.  Period 3 students must email it to me - Lizzie is the only one to have done it thus far - firing a shot over my bow in the process...should I take offense?
