Grade Entitlement
By J. Edward Ketz
I have been teaching for many years, and I have observed lots of changes in the world of education. The differences between the students I taught 30 years ago and those I teach today are huge and growing.
Unfortunately, the value of grades as an indicator of competency has declined over time. Students feel that they should get good grades for nothing; teachers capitulate so they can spend time on their research; and administrators add pressure to pass unqualified students to avoid confrontations and lawsuits. |

| Detox Your Desk: Declutter Your Life and Mind
There are two important parts to Detox; the first is the physical clearing out of the detritus that litters our lives, so that we have a bit of space to breathe once more, the second and by far the most important is a change in the way we think. The book analyzes the chaos that is clutter, describes how to prepare for a thorough detox, and finishes with a 10-day detox program. | |
