(No pun intended.) I really enjoyed your explanations to the questions posed about earthquakes ... your demonstrations made everything crystal clear. Wish I had you as my Science teachers when I was in school. Congratulations on a job well done! Hey, Earthquake Guys, you rock! (No pun intended.)

The staff and kids lift your soul. Many parents like me wait around the hallways listening to the kid’s music, sometimes peeking thru some classes or experiencing some of the free performance they have some Saturdays.

]]> Comment on Thirteen’s Learning Celebration in China by Anthony C. Brown http://thirteencelebration.org/blog/edblog/thirteens-learning-celebration-in-china/633/#comment-663 Anthony C. Brown Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:26:05 +0000 http://thirteencelebration.org/?p=633#comment-663 I have found this article very enlightening and educational; in addition, being a pre-GED and ABE in the past, I understand the dire need for Mathematics and Science teaching in the curriculum. In the 21st century, America must emphasize and implement many literacy skills so that students can become more marketable in the workplace. For example, we must invest in research and development as an ongoing resource in our universities, both in private as well as public institutions. We must return America to its previous excellence in the natural, social and applied sciences as a nation--like we did in the Cold War Era (post-Sputnik, Eisenhower period); where there was an investment in math and science education leading to the development of NASA and the golden age of the space programs (Apollo, Gemini and the like).
