Strohwitwer

Well, the wife is off at an Educational Technology conference, so I'm playing bachelor. If, by bachelor, you mean "doing the same things I always due, but it is eerily quiet and much more boring". I think the most exciting thing I will do is work overtime in order to recoup the cost of paying for parking downtown.

On top of that, it is friggin' freezing in the house. Despite the new windows and the new furnace (all of which cost a whole lot of money), the house still doesn't do very well when the temperature goes below 20 Fahrenheit. Then again it probably doesn't help to be eating ice cream, does it.

So, happy Sunday and hopefully something I post in the next day or two will be worth you reading.

OH yeah, one thing I heard about from a Special Ed teacher recently... The Kids of Widney High. Apparently, this is a group of special education students who's teacher started having the kids try songwriting. Once on the site, you can see their video for "pretty girls". Just click on Videos, then look along the right-hand side for the link.

Is this a great way for them to apply what they learn and build self-esteem, or exploitation of these special kids the likes of which we have not seen since, well, the middle ages? Discuss.

Wow...just...wow. Those songs are definitely "special". I'm going to have to go with unthinking exploitation and humiliation here. I mean, the rollover icon is a wheelchair music note! Wow.
