 How many phrases do we have in the English language whose sole purpose is to pat ourselves on the back? Things like, “I could have told you that” and “what were you thinking,” self-aggrandize the speaker but add nothing of worth to the problem or situation. And yet, our language seems to indicate that we seem inordinately pleased with ourselves...

 I’ve thought off and on about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, especially as it relates to education and achievement and I'd like to share those thoughts with you. For those not familiar with Maslov, he was a developmental psychologist who came up with this hierarchy @1945 and it's become the "standard" reference ever since. It's interpretation, however, varies widely.

 Some topics get me hot--and I don't mean that in a sexy way. I mean, under the collar, steam rising, my voice going into screech mode hot. (It's not a pretty picture.) One of those topics has to do with the criminalizing of America.

 The government is at it again. Trying to tell us that all our children must be intellectual equals. Without regard to abilities, interests, individuality or anything, all our children are expected to attain the same academic standards. The only way to achieve such a standard is to dumb our children down yet more.
