Refreshin news

This story just restored some of my faith in the educational process. Odds of something similar happening in the U.S.?

My favorite quote:

"It's all down to the approach. You can bore people of any age with the wrong approach and you can enthuse people of any age with the correct one."

Though I am not a personal fan of Shakespeare, it is refreshing to see the schools taking an initiative to liven up education. Blunoz told me the other night that ES was asking about inudstrial sabotage... where did this come from? Well they are now studying ancient China in his second grade class and they discussed the secrecy of the silk worm and how the Romans sent spies to China to steal the worms... now that is exciting stuff, I don't think we covered that when I was in elementary school!
