More Education Woes

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

I don't know what's more disturbing about this article -- that scores on the SAT are dropping or that better test-taking skills is the solution to the problem. How about actually teaching kids the subject so when they take the test they perform well? And, is anyone disturbed by the ...

It might not be a hot summer night tomorrow, but we're having Bozeman Mayor Jeff Krauss on ye olde Podcast at 21:00 Wednesday evening. Jeff proposed we talk about using the internet to help govern a city, and I suspect that we'll also be doing some compare and contrast. As always, we ...

Scoop Montana, a new entry into the Montana Blogosphere is having a challenge about the $400 property tax rebate. It's well worth a look, so I'd head on over and give him your ideas on how the money should be spent.

Leaving the Filth of Montana, For the Blue Skies of Jersey

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Dude. . . Wait, what? The man has a point, though. I'm sure that Jim would agree. Or maybe not. Either way, a big H/T to Erica, who was kind enough to pass this along, even though she would say that Brooklyn would no doubt be better than either Jersey ...

This week's guest is one of Montana's Blogfathers, Rob Kailey of Wulfgar's Mountain View, a/k/a "A Chicken is Not Pillage." On the agenda? Nothing in particular, but I suspect things will get meta in some places and wide-ranging in others. Invite a friend! Call in! Or Don't! It's ...
