Ruby Payne response

2009-09-26T03:02:45Z

In short, I found Payne's book to be interesting; however, she failed to provide me with really any new knowledge. I've heard most of what she said before, and now that I'm up to my eyeballs in poverty stricken students, Payne's book proved to be ...

a little Olympic history- Barcelona style.

2008-08-11T17:33:45Z

In celebration of the '08 games coupled with the fact that I find myself missing Spain as I pack for school, here's a little Olympic history- Barcelona style. Held in the wake of German reunification, the end of the South African apartheid, the br...
