Gregory, the problem is that the politicians have been bought by the health insurance industry. Over a month ago the evening news reported that the health insurance industry had already given over $10 million to the opponents of health care reform.…

At 8:46pm tonight I received a news alert from the New York Times that read "Senate Democrats Likely to Drop Medicare Expansion." I thought I read it wrong, or the Times was mistaken, or maybe the headline was just misleading/catchy so people would…

Excellent viewpoint on a very critical matter. I still remember my favorite teacher, Ms. Mattox. I had her in the third grade. Up until I was in her class, from kindergarten through the second grade, I was an obnoxious little jerk always in trouble…

Seems to me that if you grow up with adults who value education that yo are more likely to do so and do better in school, no matter what it is like. That's a generalization, and of course some kids don't get that message, and some schools fail other…

Standardized tests are not good predicators of future performance. Also, performance in schools cannot always be relied upon to demonstrate potential.

Great essay Gregory...Ironically I turned 40 today, was born in Astoria, Queens (the home of Sesame Street studio), and like most of America, grew up on the show. Now, my children are products of Sesame Street as well. Being as my wife is a former s…

Brian commented on Gregory Rose's blog post 'Learning from Sesame Street'
The argument has been made that Sesame Street helps inculcate the short attention span which afflicts many kids. THE single most important thing, more than class size and the other things teachers bitch about, is good teaching. Teachers should major…

I love Sesame Street. Before going to pre-school I would watch it and while being fully entertained, I would also be learning from Big Bird and all his friends. It's the shows 40th anniversary this week, which should remind us how teaching is one of…

I am a Giants fan. I have been really happy the way the teams been playing this year, and as I'm sure anyone who follows football knows there is a big game against the Saints tomorrow. Well here's my confession, my friends got me into fantasy footba…

Gregory Rose commented on Dennis St. John's blog post 'A VERY ECONOMICAL WAR'
I wrote about this a little while a go. I believe the reason why we need to stay in Afghanistan are not for military or economic purposes. But I feel at this point (because of the mistakes by the last administration) we have a moral obligation to he…

The title is something we've all heard. Probably in third grade when we start learning how to write stories. It's kinda funny though how such a simple phraze can also help in creating foreign policy. We already have big news coming out of the UN Su…

I Thought This Was The Time For Giving

At 8:46pm tonight I received a news alert from the New York Times that read "Senate Democrats Likely to Drop Medicare Expansion." I thought I read it wrong, or the Times was mistaken, or maybe the headline was just misleading/catchy so people would read the article which would result in more revenue in advertisements. Unfortunately, it was none of these scenarios.

The article quotes Senator Baucus saying he… Continue

Learning from Sesame Street

I love Sesame Street. Before going to pre-school I would watch it and while being fully entertained, I would also be learning from Big Bird and all his friends. It's the shows 40th anniversary this week, which should remind us how teaching is one of the most important parts of our society but unfortunately can sometimes be taken for granted.

When trying to hold teachers and schools accountable… Continue

Doing Business With The Enemy

I am a Giants fan. I have been really happy the way the teams been playing this year, and as I'm sure anyone who follows football knows there is a big game against the Saints tomorrow. Well here's my confession, my friends got me into fantasy football this season. I've never played in any fantasy league before and in all honestly didn't completely understand how it worked. But now, for better or worse, I am addicted.

I need to win every week. I know every Tuesday I am the first one looking to s… Continue

Show, Not Tell

The title is something we've all heard. Probably in third grade when we start learning how to write stories. It's kinda funny though how such a simple phraze can also help in creating foreign policy.

We already have big news coming out of the UN Summit in Pittsburgh: Iran has a secret (or tried to have) nuclear plant where it can develop the material it needs to build a nuclear weapon. Should we really be surprised… Continue
