Lundi

Who can spot the cryptic rune? Of course it could be...
a Peace Symbol, depending on one's direction on da'road home...
(but yer oh'so humble Editilla kinda doubts it:)
The Elk-sedge usally lives in the fen,
growing in the water. It wounds severely,
staining with blood any man
who makes a grab at it.

Liprap's Lament - The Line
~A point-by-point critique of Jarvis DeBerry's latest column on school vouchers by Coozan Pat raises an important point about standardized testing:
In order to teach at a public school, I had to take a training course. I had to take certification classes. I've been around Master of Education classes and I took certification classes waay back at UGA for my first major. Every single one of these "how to be a teacher" programs stressed the idea that not every child learns in the same way. They all stressed that there will be students in my classes who are not on the same level. Every single class drilled into me that there was no "one size fits all" model in education. Every. Single. Class.

Editilla Schrillas~Today marks one week since I stuck my arm up to my elbow into the 17th Street Leak, which was one week after AP took a photograph of that leak, which was nearly 2 months since that very leak was reported in the Times Picayune, which was almost a month after that leak was reported to the Corps of Engineers. Don't tell me about "think'tank peer reviews".
The Corps might answer the phone but not any questions.
