Fourth College in England Closes All Math Departments
Saturday, February 12 @ 13:04:57 CST by myoung (27 reads) | | Fourth College in England Closes All Math Departments
Last night, the London Mathematical Society said the decision was part of a wider trend and warned that the UK was in danger of becoming a "maths wasteland". Peter Cooper, the society's executive secretary, said: "Maths is perceived as a hard subject by many students. There is a real difficulty in attracting sufficient numbers of people in many institutions." Four other maths departments in England have closed since 1999 and the number of students has fallen by more than 2,200 in the same period.

Oxford Debaters Lose to U.S. Home Schoolers

BEAT OXFORD DEBATERS
By: Samuel L. Blumenfeld
Four home-schooled students at Patrick Henry College went to Oxford University in December to take part in a debate with some of Oxford’s best student debaters, and two of them won. Matt du Mee, 22, of Peoria, Arizona, and Miss Rayel Papke, 21, of Queen Creek, Arizona, were the winners in a moot court tournament that took three days. Notice that the winners came from small towns in Arizona, not from our great centers of academic learning. ..........

When Gifted Children have Problems
Thursday, January 20 @ 15:08:15 CST by myoung (27 reads) | | When ‘gifted’ children have problems
By Rabbi S. Binyomin Ginsberg
JewishWorldReview.com
By the time David reached sixth grade, he was among the top achievers in his school. A whiz at schoolwork, he was a natural to leapfrog ahead a year. But David was not a gregarious child and, says his father, would have found the seventh grade social scene daunting.
As a result, David happily hung in with his classmates, zipping through regular lessons, tackling bonus questions and then tutoring friends who were having a tougher time.
"It boosted his confidence," says his father. "And it helped the other children because he was from their peer group .....

Revelations about public services are exploding in anonymous weblogs. Jim McClellan reports on the rise of 'personal media'
The Guardian, Oct. 7, 04
Last year saw anonymous weblogs hit the headlines. Salam Pax brought the world an insider's view of Iraq, while Belle de Jour racked up readers with the salacious diaries of a London call girl.
Thanks in part to these secretive success stories, anonymous weblogs - which offer readers a real-time connection to hidden, dangerous and often taboo worlds - are a feature of online life.
Now a new group of anonymous webloggers has emerged en masse, but this time they are covering more mundane territory. Job blogs bring frontline news from the modern workplace, documenting its stupid routines, petty frustrations and inane management-speak. ..............

What is Classical Education?
Tuesday, September 28 @ 02:39:16 CDT by myoung (127 reads) | | What is classical education?
Classical education depends on a three-part process of training the mind. The early years of school are spent in absorbing facts, systematically laying the foundations for advanced study. In the middle grades, students learn to think through arguments. In the high school years, they learn to express themselves. This classical pattern is called the trivium.
The first years of schooling are called the "grammar stage" -- not because you spend four years doing English, but because these are the years in which the building blocks for all other learning are laid, just as grammar is ..............
