ROFL!!! That was as red meat as I can get a-ny-where! Where can I borrow Jonathan to hang out here? Maybe he will change some minds in my family!

lengthening school year? I bet he gets picked first at kickball and ends up becoming Prom King.
sorry, but I always find it disturbing when parents use their kids for political purposes, regardless what side of the aisle they are on.

One thing-and I feel I have to make it pretty clear since I twittered about it for a couple of days-is to encourage freedom of expression in your own household, present to the children more than one possible outcome (& reasons for both ends of the debate) to any situation, trust me: THEY WILL ARRIVE AT THEIR OWN CONCLUSION. I tried it here re: Iran revolution.
What my son conveyed on Twitter (I typed it) with the bunch of hashtags for the world to see, simply put ppl agreed with me and we were RT’d. My children do get dirty, do catch all the bugs and they get as dirty as they come; but definitely when TV is on and ppl are by the thousands on the street,protesting, I had to explain my son that that was not happening here in the United States -for real!-

BTW Allah knows who I am on Twitter – if you want to know what I am talking about, fetch me; you know my username over there.

Child prodigy = talented parrot.

Tell me about it…
Anybody had a teacher with curved nose with a wart on the side teaching History, and if things got louder than normal talk, out the ruler came and whacked the desks?
I am STILL haunted by that teacher!

Forgot to add-that witchy History teacher- Public school

I was raised in Brazil. We do not go 11 months a year there. No sir. Plus, the school day is only 4.5 hours as there are morning and afternoon classes for over 95% of the students (all public schools are like that), to make double use of all facilities.
So that was a big piece of misinformation right there…

Which is what could make them bad social and political analysts. You have to have a “people IQ” for socio-political analysis. In addition, success in a well-defined and rule-heavy field like Astrophysics is precisely the type of thing that can make you think that politics needs to be run on well-defined abstract theories–and that just makes liberals, with their ideas on how castles could theoretically be suspended in air.

I laughed…

nice to see kids get passionate about a subject…good for some laughs too.

Wow. Jonathan Crohn (sp?) kicks azz.
Rank personal opinion: Burning kids out on 11 months of school a year is a terrible idea – it does not make them better or better-performing. 9-10 months of work hard, play hard (and relax) is much better for healthy development.

For some folks, it never goes away. See “The Real World” and most of reality TV.
