Are Top Students Getting Short Shrift? - Room for Debate
Lumping all students together in one class may help average and struggling children, but does that come at a cost to top performers?A resounding maybe.A better question is do we care?The objective of initial education is the installation of basic skills.Once these are acquired and polished there is little point in going further at that level. What the skills are and how they are to be used are the subject of intense debate. One cannot learn to readwithout a literature and no matter how we try there is a content to literature beyond the individual words. Mathematics is a formal horror until it is attached to reality as a manipulable model.The written language is also a model and it is manipulated by the writer. Photographs are less easily manipulated.When we measure and discover "Top performers", what have we discovered?

The Man Who Inspired Jobs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Land
"Land first discovered a two-color system for projecting the entire spectrum of hues with only two colors of projecting light (he later found more specifically that one could achieve the same effect using very narrow bands of 500 nm and 557 nm light). Some of this work was later incorporated in his Retinex theory of color vision."

Secret U.S. Memo Made Legal Case to Kill a Citizen
I think the mask is insufficient.
"Wanted dead or alive"has long passed from law enforcement practice if not from the movies.I suspect it was always a private enterprise label.
I am sure we can be murdered by our government.I am also sure that it must not be done with impunity.If secrecy fails there is no real shelter for the participants. -
Occupy Wall Street Uses the Power of a Crowd - Room for Debate
The chanted slogan, 'This is what democracy looks like,' could not be better chosen.It is great theater. It is not powerful politics.http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/09/was-failure-inevitable/"Ezra Klein has a generally reasonable analysis of the Obama administration’s failure to respond with sufficient force to the economic crisis. Broadly speaking, he’s saying that the eurovenn applied: an economically adequate response lay beyond the bounds of the politically feasible."http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/28/the-eurovenn/ -
Occupy Wall St. Learns From Globalization Protests - Room for Debate
This movement does not yet know how powerful it is. The answer will determine what demands are possible.The occupy Wall Street movementis not yet leaning on the proper group. Wall street is just being the profiteers they have always been.The proper targets are the small government gang.The way to pressure them is to vote them out of office. Where Have You Gone, Joe DiMaggio?
the loss of the inventor of so many products we enjoy Lie one.
Steve Jobs was a designer, not an inventor. Almost nothing was original with him.
There is not much truth in the rest of it either.
If the country had not bought the Less Taxes Only Kool Aid There would not be a right wing majority in the house.
Tomas Friedman will have to run a bit faster to mislead the nation.-
