Wayne Coyne Speaks In Struggle Arts Class - (USA)
In a culture that has made hope a buzzword for potential and progress, the unfortunate reality is that the "hope" department is always the first to be cut from our public schools. Today education is being reduced to filling in bubbles, where every child is left behind, and there is too little time that can be allocated to the troubled teens even when they're the most gifted. Even President Obama has remarked that its disappointing that arts programs are being cut in the face of No Child Left B

Hangover Theater Guide to the 12 Days of Christmas - (USA)
Gazing out upon the vast tapestry of Pajiban creeds and customs, I am certain that this time of year is feted is various ways. Whether you cherish Hannukah, Christmas, Ramadan, Yule, Kwanzaa, Decemberween or -- as my Jehovah's Witness friends call it -- Thursday, the holidays are about one thing: spending time with loved ones. This is usually accomplished in about 14 minutes. Then the rest of the time is spent caustically avoiding speaking to one another, drinking copious amounts of liquored n

Will Smith’s Version of Karate Kid is Different Than Original - (USA)
Will Smith’s version of Karate kid is different than the original. So tell me, if you are remaking a movie, how can you alter it from the original?? Will thinks he can and that his changes will make it even better. I beg to disagree…his changes are making the movie more ghetto and slang. More pictures of Will after the skip… The changes Wil l is making include character names, activities and small plot lines. Why? From Slash Film : The Daniel Larusso character, played by Ja

Buying Nothing New for a Year... - (USA)
The following article is a guest post by Erin from Prairie Skirts. Erin is a Bay Area (CA) nanny and student pursuing a degree in Environmental Studies. She is in the process of starting up a zine, a small CSA, and attempting to become a fiber artist. I think it was in Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma that I first heard about a person who chose to not buy anything new for a year. She didn't buy anything from a department store, Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Home Depot or anywhere else. Eve

State Birding Contest Draws Flock of Young Birders - (USA)
Georgia’s 24-hour Youth Birding Competition had a record crowd of children and teens looking and listening statewide for birds common and rare this weekend. The results: more than 200 species seen or heard, more than $1,200 raised for conservation and about 140 young birders ages 4 to 18 better versed in the state’s diverse bird life. The turnout marked a new high for the annual competition, in its fourth year. The 2008 event fielded 126 participants. Coordinator Tim Keyes, a Georgia Wildlife

May 4th/5th new releases of childrens and YA fantasy/sci fi - (USA)
Here are the new releases for May 4th and 5th. I continue to be stunned that so many of the books being published are science fiction or fantasy, mainly the latter (and if you want to see for yourself, the list from which I draw my own can be found here, at Teens Read Too ). I asked a little while ago if these lists were being enjoyed, and it seemed they were. But one faithful reader, my sister, has let me know she finds them boring, and that she prefers blogs that act as filters, recommending

Littlest Pet Shop for Wii and Nintendo DS - Here’s What They’re Saying So Far - (USA)
At first glance, Littlest Pet Shop would appear to be geared toward little girls exclusively. With the pastel colors and doe-eyed animals and gentle nature of the game, it’s a far cry from the knock-’em-down, shoot-’em-up games that little boys often gravitate toward. It also doesn’t seem much like the sort of game that would appeal to teens. But based on the feedback from our reviewers, Littlest Pet Shop - by Electronic Arts for both the Nintendo DS and Wii - is a hit with everyone. From the

Teen Gulag in Texas, Excel Academy, Shuts Down - (USA)
Maybe the economic downturn does have a silver lining (see the Royal Gorge post). I wrote about Excel Academy in 2006.

2009 Should Be More Like 1984 - (USA)
I saw this link followed by the back and forth between the bloggers/reporters on NRO Online. The basis of the day long argument survey from August 1984 of books every high school graduate should read before moving on to college. The list included such notables as Shakespeare, the Bible, Huck Finn, and the Declaration of Independence. Weightier books made the list as well — Aristotle’s Politics , Plato’s Republic , de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America , Virgil’s Aeneid and o

Winter Blog Blast Tour: Susan Kuklin November 17, 2008 - (USA)
Susan Kuklin is an author and photographer of a number of non-fiction books for children and teens. Her most recent book is No Choirboy: Murder, Violence, and Teenagers on Death Row. It’s a powerful and provocative (in a good way) book, tackles a subject that might be considered just as edgy as some of her other books, and it’s reflective of her usual method of writing. As Susan says on her website, “The modus operandi is a book version of cinema verite; that is, choose a subject, find a situati

A Special Guest Review: "The Missing Link: FOUND" - (USA)
One of my favorite things about homeschooling is the ability to utilize skills in context. So often, in classrooms, things are contrived. I offer up exhibit A: play money. Personally, I've never owned any of those faux "math manipulatives." I taught my kids how to count using (gasp!) real money. If we were in a pinch (because I frankly don't have any $100 bills just warming the kitchen counter), I nabbed a few pieces of Monopoly money and kept going. After the child seemed to have a decent enou

New Study Shows Moms Plan to Spend Less on Holiday Gifts - (USA)

Non tanto per le sue qualità trash, che pure non mancano; non lo consiglierei infatti agli amanti del cinepattume per un solo motivo: questo filmaccio è da sconsigliare a chiunque . Quel che lascia sgomenti è che qualcuno abbia prodotto una cosa del genere.
