This online resource allows educators to easily create or modify comments for report cards on a Mac or PC.

There were quite a few take-aways from this article. Here are two examples.  "How many prisoners are there going to be, 15 years from now? And they found they could predict it very easily, using a pretty simple algorithm, based on asking what percentage of 10 and 11-year-olds couldn’t read" and "The challenge becomes, not finding that scarce plant growing in the desert, but finding a specific plant growing in a jungle."

This is a useful tool to have students build on something they have already done, will do in the future, or want to do.  It is useful to inspire reflection and imagination.

As a teacher this seems obvious.  However, parents seem to forget that hitting is not the appropriate reaction to a child’s misdemeanours.  I particularly thought this was important, "Spanking guidelines usually give the warning to never spank in anger. If this guideline were to be faithfully observed 99 percent of spanking wouldn’t occur, because once the parent has calmed down he or she can come up with a more appropriate method of correction."
