ON THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN - Montaigne (1575)

>no matter if he forgets where he had his learning, provided he knows how to apply it to his own use; truth and reason are common to every one, and are no more his who spoke them first than his who spake them after. ‘Tis no more according to Plato than according to me, since both he and I equally see and understand in the same manner. Bees cull their several sweets from this flower and that blossom, here and there where they find them, but themselves after make the honey which is all and purely their own, and no longer thyme's and marjoram's; so the several fragments the pupil borrows from others he will transform and blend together to compile a work that shall be absolutely his own; that is to say, his judgment, which his instruction, labour, and study should alone tend to form.

The phonemic awareness gap between kids whose parents practice at home is impossible to ignore

I'm a pre-k teacher. By December I can usually tell which kids will enter K reading ready. The predictor is whether the family does any structured phonemic awareness work at home. Just letter sounds and oral blending, 5 to 10 minutes a day.

Kids whose families don't engage (and there are real reasons many can't) start K significantly behind and the gap widens fast. By second semester K it's hard to close even with intervention.

How do you communicate this at conferences without sounding preachy? The honest answer is even casual home practice produces dramatically better outcomes than what we can do in 10 min small group rotations.

Contaminated dirt in Detroit at heart of $100M lawsuit

(FOX 2) - On one side, a demolition company. On the other side, the city of Detroit. And at the heart of a $100 million lawsuit the former has filed against the latter are piles of contaminated dirt.

Brian McKinney Sr., owner of the now-shuttered Gayanga Demolition Company, is accused by Detroit's Office of Inspector General of using polluted dirt to backfill possibly a hundred different sites of demolished homes throughout the city.

While there is little question about the toxic materials found in the soil, the debate over who is at fault for using the contaminated dirt is now the focus of legal action between the two parties.

On Education - Immanuel Kant

>Education is an art which can only become perfect through the practice of many generations. Each generation, provided with the knowledge of the foregoing one, is able more and more to bring about an education which shall develop man’s natural gifts in their due proportion and in relation to their end, and thus advance the whole human race towards its destiny. Providence has willed, that man shall bring forth for himself the good that lies hidden in his nature, and has spoken, as it were, thus to man. ‘Go forth into the world! I have equipped thee with every tendency towards the good. Thy part let it be to develop those tendencies. Thy happiness and unhappiness depend upon thyself alone.’
