Essay Question: Teachers & Unions In 20 Years
2010-10-25 16:59:00 I read somewhere recently that only seven percent of the US workforce remain unionized, though of course in education that number is much higher. For better or for worse, the overall trend is clear -- more and more industries are either shutting down (manufacturing) or moving overseas, or becoming much less union-dominated than they were. Pensions and employer-paid healthcare plans are going the way of the dodo bird, or at least they have in other sectors. But maybe education is different? Put your own opinions aside for a moment -- and your own personal benefit -- and ponder the following: Do you think that teaching will be as unionized as it currently is in 20 years, or more like 50-50,...

Essay topic of the day: Inter-frater PP
2009-09-21 04:17:00 A Wolfeboro, N.H teacher asked this question: "If you knocked your brother down, would you urinate in his mouth..?" It really irks me when teachers oversimplify complicated moral problems. Without the context of the situation, it's virtually impossible to answer in either the affirmative or negative. Assuming, however, that the knocking-down was intentional and for good reason- say as recompense for an uninvited reception of bodily effluence- then the action would be just- an emanation for an emanation, to paraphrase an ancient legal code. Excepting tit-for-tat retaliation, urination should be used rarely, if at all. Not to say that it should be ruled out a priori- the threat of being peed-on has a deterrent effect. Neither, however, should one use such a messy option without first escalating gradually through less severe options like the "noogie," the "pantsing," and "wet willy." Urination is always wrong in casual horseplay. I think that the pee-ee is entitled to adequa...

Africa desperately needs trade links: a pictorial essay | Aid Watch [del.ic
2009-09-16 00:35:00 In all the debates about free trade, we can forget sometimes that international trade is not optional for a very small, very poor country. If there are any kinds of returns to scale at all in many sectors, and casual observation and much research suggests there are, then a tiny domestic market will rule out any serious domestic production in many, many sectors (is the Gambia going to be making refrigerators any time soon?) So trade will be a necessity, specializing in what each small, poor country can do, and importing everything else. And what continent is full of small, poor countries? Africa, of course.

Why I can't do anything. An essay by Busy Mom.
2009-03-05 15:49:00 The downside to this whole possible Internet addiction thing is that when the whole house goes all Comcastic, you can't even watch TV or use the Internet while you wait for the Comcast guy. In fact, you might even get a little itchy. But, it's then you realize it's because the cable people have effectively removed all excuses for not folding the laundry tundra in the bedroom, yet you're still not folding. You have a dial up account for such emergencies, but then you realize you never installed the program on your new-ish computer, and you need the Internet to do it. Posting from your phone is all well and good if you are under 40 (see also: what I really typed, I wonder) and if you don't live in the sticks and can only get phone reception by hanging out your kitchen door. (see also: winter, it's still kinda here). And that, dear friends is why I can't post, I'm pacing outside the house, I'm not at work and clean laundry is the new carpet.

Draft of Essay, Needs Critiquing
2008-10-31 16:47:00 This is a draft of an essay that I wrote on behest of a friend. It might actually get 'officially' published, so I am asking for some critiques... I also would like ideas for a title.Someone on-line said that people admired me because I was so at peace with my divorce and since I was a good writer, I should write an essay for those who are in the beginning stages to encourage or enlighten them. I tried, but I did not feel inspired until a few nights ago. I was hampered by the knowledge that though I did do many things correctly, deep in the shadows lurked something else. It was not that I would reveal that I am eccentric and difficult to live with or my unshakable belief that I am always right (until I am proven wrong, at which time I change my position so I can be right again). I am actually pretty open that I am those things, even in their negative expression. It was that typing this would expose something else I preferred to remain hidden in the shadows. The fact that I ...

Monday OBD: Ruminations on "It's Gonna Happen": An Essay In One Part
2008-08-11 19:38:00 Let's Assume This Is You Dear It's Gonna Happen Guy: I think we've all been patient with your little attempt to make a quick buck off our team long enough. In that regard, please allow me to explain the problems with your 15 minutes of fame and the reasons 90% of Cubs fans would like to throw you down a well so our country can be free. There are really several problems with your . . . what are we calling it? Slogan? Sign? Corporate Branding? Whatever it is, it's stupid. First off, the biggest issue I have with "It's Gonna Happen" is that you don't define what "It" is. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I'll assume that you meant "It" to mean "Win the World Series." Longstanding arguments about jinxing the team by declaring that we're going to win the World Series aside, it seems to me that "It" could just as easily mean "collapse down the stretch," "Zambrano blowing out his arm," or "Cubs fans having their hearts broken again." "It" could even mean we could MAKE the playo...

I can't avoid all family obligations and relationship strains, in fact, living with someone like me can't be easy. So all that unavoidable stress gets to a person.

There's a lovely essay about the future by Michael...
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.
