    This may be the only way to see some of the animals on the endangered species list in the near future. It is a scary thought, and the fact that an exhibit of plastic is a featured exhibit at a zoo makes one really question the world we live in.

  • In the midst of all of the “uproar” over the President’s planned speech to school kids on Tuesday, I keep thinking about what all of this says about schools, about what they are for, and about the perception that a lot of people in this country have of them.
  • no better place for my children to watch that speech (or any other, for that matter) than in a place where ideas are encouraged, where critical thinking about those ideas is a natural part of the conversation, and where appropriate response and debate can flourish. Where the adults in the room lead my kids to dig deeper, to validate facts, and consider the many levels of context in which every speech and every debate takes place. Where the discussion around it is such that it lays to rest the concern that many seem to have about this particular speech in general, that in some way the President will be able to “indoctrinate” our kids into some socialist mindset. If schools are the fully functioning learning communities that we hope they are, they should be the place where our kids learn to make sense of ideas, not to fear them. That, however, is not the message we are sending.

    Interesting article here. I like the selection of quotes that he, and his commenters, highlight, especially the one that mentions that working harder at something you are already doing isn't reform.

    An interesting read on the label "extinct" and the potential problems with declaring an animal extinct as well as references to a statistical model that could potentially help allocate resources to the animals with a higher probability of potential change.
