If there is one thing all parents can agree on, it’s that they want their children to have an excellent education — one that prepares them for success in their lives and careers. Yet any parent knows that is easier said than done.
Every child is unique, with individual learning needs and skill sets. Yet, as a nation, we still need to provide access to an array of educational options as diverse and multifaceted as the students in our classrooms.
For millions of families, their neighborhood public school — often one that has educated generations and served as a community…
Paired Texts: Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall” and Ilya Kaminsky’s “We Lived Happily During the War” | huffenglish.com
Robert Frost (New York World-Telegram and the Sun Newspaper Photograph Collection/Library of Congress) and Ilya Kaminsky (Slowking)
I have to admit to a love/hate relationship with Robert Frost’s poetry stemming from the fact that I wrote a research paper on symbolism in his poetry as a senior in high school. That kind of thing will put anyone off, and it didn’t help that I had what I’d consider now to be an inarguable thesis (essentially it was, yes, he uses symbolism—not much of…
Free Rhetorical Analysis Unit | huffenglish.com
I recently found myself in the position of having to teach AP English Language for about five weeks. I won’t get into why that happened. I have never taught AP Lang. I think I’ve taught just about everything else! I decided it would be a good opportunity to do a quick unit on rhetorical analysis, which I have at least taught in the past.

Previously, no exact definition was set for when a vehicle was too loud, with drivers and enforcement officers having to guess.

“The standard of 101.3 decibels was based on research conducted by SGI on federally compliant vehicles. I believe they went to a dealership…
A point spread is a bet on the margin of victory in a sporting event. It’s the most popular bet type in basketball and football.
The perceived stronger team (the favorite) must win by a certain number of points/runs/goals to cash your bet. The worse team (the underdog) can lose by fewer than that same amount of points, or just win the game.

Ravens win by 8+ points: Ravens bettors win

“The idea that one can earn a degree at the age of 22 and be set for a career has become as antiquated as the pocket watch.”
—Jeffrey R. Brown, dean at the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois, from his position paper: “It’s Time to Transform Higher Education”
How do we prepare students and workers to do jobs that don’t even exist yet?
For challenges we can’t even imagine yet?
To compete in industries and with business models that haven’t even been…
