The Internet Should Be Free
I have noticed that some places of business offer free wireless Internet. I think this is a great idea. The Internet should be free. Can’t we take this a step further?

Don’t Play With Your Food Unless Your Teacher Tells You To
Last week I had the students work in groups to create a bridge that could span a gap at least 25 centimeters long. They had three days to work on the project and I gave them a lot of time to do so with these materials. Yup, that is spaghetti. The only other materials they…
