Carnival of Educators Is Out!

Woo-hoo! The Carnival of Educators is up and running over at I Want To Teach Forever. My post "Saturdays, Teens & Competition" was included, but you don't have to go there to read about it here. But you know the drill, you really should hippity hop there, so you are in the know about all that is going on in the EduSphere. There's lots of good stuff to read. I plan to peruse it all after I get off this darn tootin' newspaper deadline, if I ever get off this darn tootin' newspaper deadline.  Can someone pah-leese tell me when summer will be here?

And, oh, before I forget, my friend across the pond, Sarah Ebner of the London Times's education site SchoolGate wrote a nifty piece for the Washington Post's Answer Sheet on school reform efforts in the UK and charter schools. It's worth a read. Go check it out.

Woo-hoos, Exclamation Points & The Washington Post List!

It’s Friday… It’s time for my weekly Starbucks drive-thu, it’s the end of the semester, it’s the end of the week, and certainly it’s a day to Woo-hoo about.

What’s all the fuss?  

The Washington Post––yes, The Washington Post ––listed my blog as one of the Best Education Blogs of 2010! Now, I tell my students to refrain from using exclamation points unless there is a nuclear explosion or their hair is on fire. Calm down. So far no nuclear explosion, and no, I’m not setting my hair ablaze either.

But some rules are made to be broken in certain circumstances. So let me just say…

Woo-hoo! We made the list of The Washington Post’s Best Education Blogs of 2010!
