2008-05-28 02:37:00 GAAHHH! I hate that single-sex education (and its ensuing essentialism) is making a comeback! There's one middle school that does that shit here, and it will not be the one my daughter attends.The rationale here is that boys will have fewer behaviorial problems without the presence of girls. I have a painfully hard time believing that boys educated in an all-male environment are likely to view girls as equals. I have a seriously hard time thinking that they will be open to fully including women in their work environment or social environment. IMO, sex-segregated schools will pave the way towards a reversal of women's gains.Screw that. And screw using my tax dollars to do it. More About: Education , Hate , Single , Sex Education

2008-05-28 02:08:00 You're welcome, from this 60-year-old feminist (humanist), whose parents (born 1911 and 1913) were ALSO feminists (humanists). All their adult lives, my parents peacefully fought for the rights of women. Helped organized Planned Parenthood, too. SO much more!So I thank MY beloved mother and father for bringing me up in such an intelligent, caring, and loving environment.PEACEWoodstock Hippie More About: Year , Feminist

2008-05-27 20:27:00 Hello Dead Air Church ,While I'll be damned if anyones gonna convert me to anything, after this post you can consider me at least...er lets say - for the sake of argument - 60% a dead air devotee. I'm feeling kind, I'll treat you and this supeb blog to 70%. Haha, just a numbers game of course - I like this blog, and I like this song, even though it always meant more to me than these sources would suggest, so I don't know what I feel about hearing of Lennon's aspirations for it. Oh well. A stellar post, and a great read.

2008-05-27 16:43:00 They made noises up here a couple of years ago about trying the single-sex classroom idea but it died a quick death. Our big educational controversy is the "WASL" test, which all kids must pass in order to graduate. So as a result, the teachers spend most of the year teaching to the WASL to ensure everyone passes, instead of following a normal high school curriculum. More About: Couple , Made , Years

2008-05-24 14:02:00 EightiesMost people let the signs go by unheeded,Newspaper headlines big and black as hearses,Official faces pallid as a nurse’s,Catastrophes half hidden half conceded.Most people hardly noticed them, but we did.In fact we seized on every premonitionAnd let two-headed succubuses ride usAnd felt, as seas of ash came to betide usOur marrow melt in effervescent fission – And recognized in that our special mission.We didn’t tell the world where it was going,Our knowledge was a private revelation,We didn’t pass on our prognosticationWhen symptoms that had hidden started showing;Instead we shut our eyes and watched them growing.We knew no passion urging us to still it,No salutary task to set our hand to,No dream at all but must be blown to sand, toInfected dust before we could fulfill it;No better world beseeching us to will it.And in the end we lost touch altogetherWith families and friends who hardly missed us,Our thoughts bent on irradiated vistas,On carcase-skin tanned tough a...

2008-05-23 07:34:00 There's a lovely essay about the future by Michael Chabon posted in PDF (I think it was originally in Details magazine) at The Long Now site. One sentence hit me: "If you ask my eight-year old about the Future , he pretty much thinks the world is going to end, and that's it."A friend on the Internet talks about "digging with teaspoons" and connects that with people's long struggle. I always enjoy hearing him tell anyone who asks to get out their teaspoon and dig, because I think it just might make a difference.The kids maybe right about the world ending. What I grieve about is how that may make it harder for them to feel they can make a difference. Yet perhaps it's not the impediment I imagine. All of us can create something good and the reward in doing so maybe intrinsic. Still, it sure helps when others notice. And that's one reason I love the posts your write when you point to the creations of others. More About: The Future , Essay , Lovely
