    Google takes you through its Inactive Account Manager so that you can tell it what to do when you are no longer responsive. You'll have to appoint at least one trustee.

    There are many great add-ons for Google Docs and Sheets. What they don't tell you is that each add-on needs the ability to access your profile information and other information in your account. This is always important to disclose. Some add-ons require subscriptions and even $$.

    "In this short guide, Eric will walk you through a step by step process on how to tap into the educational potential of Google Plus. It starts with a general overview of Google Plus suite of tools then moves to  the second section where you will get to learn how to activate Google Plus for your school account. In the Profile and Setting section, Eric explains how to edit your profile information and how to manage your profile visibility settings. The last remaining parts of this guide provide some tips on how to search for people and manage your circles and communities, and how to post, share, and comment. Overall, the guide is a must read and I recommend that you share it with your colleagues."

  • The people who concentrate wealth don't do things just out of the goodness of their hearts for the most part, but in order to maintain their position of dominance and then extend their power.
  • One can at least be suspicious that skyrocketing student debt is a device of indoctrination. It's very hard to imagine that there's any economic reason for it. Other countries' education is free, like Mexico's, and that is a poor country.
  • There are a lot of factors. And one of them, probably, is just that students are trapped.

  • Your future depends on it; my salary depends on it.
  • until I got to Central High, I literally didn't know I was a good student, because the question never came up.
  • There were tests, but they just gave information about what's going on. This is something we ought to be doing better.
  • "How can mosquitoes fly in the rain?" And then, but why is there a problem? Well, you study the force of the raindrop hitting a mosquito - it's like a person being hit by a locomotive.
  • It doesn't matter how much you learn in school; it's whether you learn how to go on and do things by yourself.
  • Control from above, control by the administrators. No respect for the working person, whether it's a teacher or machinist.
  • Kids are naturally creative, and of course, you don't have to beat it out of them. That's why they're asking, "Why?" all the time.
  • You can't let teachers control the classroom. That's teaching to test; then the teachers are disciplined. They do what you tell them. Their salaries depend on it; their jobs depend on it. They become sociopaths like everyone else. And you have a society where it's only, "Look after me; I'll forget everyone else."

    Best read of the day. "It doesn't matter how much you learn in school; it's whether you learn how to go on and do things by yourself."
