Education in Canada, USA, UK & elsewhere:
Stress-free exams?
Unlikely. Not in England, anyway. But, stress exists in
Japan? Absolutely.
Teacher? No, merely a
poor
fool.
Creationism, going once in
"City

foolishness.
The Guardian reports: the
end of comprehensives is possible. And don't you wish that you, in
England, were
a
good mathematics teacher? As long as you weren't associated with
the
exam scam.

Bad Comma, a somewhat critical
review of
Eats, Shoots and Leaves, but it remains sympathetic. And Lynne Truss herself, in
the Times of London, on
Tiger Woods.

modern howlers.
Health and Welfare
A story
of depression, from 1998, the Noon Day Demon, with reviews by
Joyce Carol Oates,
Ian Penman. The article that caused me to research Solomon, about
Yanks not
reading much these days.
When the times were harsher, yet romantically remembered. After the
chronometer altered navigation:

Sick, mentally? And want to return to work? Read
this article.
Social Corruption
Results of poor attitudes, if nothing else. Do not forget the horrors
inflicted upon children.
Here is a case
from the UK, with ramifications still arriving.
Care assessment, at least a start. Climbié parents
endorse scheme.
