document.write( "                <span class=\"comment\"> I think it will be a difficult sell. Kids these days already have a lot of things they do after school. And then there are the kids who already don’t enjoy school all that much. Forcing them to be there even longer, doing something that they do not enjoy, does not seem to be the way to bring them up to grade level.I think the problem is the unrealistic idea that all kids can work at grade level if given the opportunity. The fact of the matter is that some kids will Never be at grade level, no matter how great the educational system is. And in the U.S. we teach and test these kids with the same standards that we teach and test the average and above average kids.In fact, in my state, we were required to give grade level state tests to kids who have IQs in the 60s. And we were also required to give these same tests to students who did not speak English because they had only been in the country for 4 months.To me, the biggest problem is the fact that we educate everyone at the same level just because of their chronological age, whether it makes sense or not for that kid," );

document.write( "                <span class=\"comment\"> All good points but let me take a little different tack. What if we considered year round schooling? The current calendar was built to accommodate the farming community from years ago. There are different versions of year round calendars but the one that makes the most sense to me is 9 weeks on, 3 weeks off. There are so mnay benefits possible to this, the comment is too limiting." );

document.write( "                <span class=\"comment\"> I agree with Steve that the farm scheduling makes little sense- there’s another proposal that would do an 8 on 2 off type of schedule, that in the 2 off, kids who needed extra help could be re-mediated.<br>What this would do, while matching up education to the rest of the world’s calendars, is really mess up summer camps, beach houses, and the communities and economies that depend on seasonal business, at least until they, too, adapt to a changing schedule. I think this is probably the biggest hurdle in places like NJ, that have active “shoreline” based communities with significant inflow of summer residents from all over.<br>The Bottom line issue is that education, from the curriculum to the calendar, has been created in a “one size fits all” framework that does little to respond to the special needs of students, whether that’s gifted students, students in need of specialized education, or ESL.<br>Ok- you guys have given me the kick in the tush I need. Anyone interested in participating in a new, open format podcast on education, called “Partners in Education” – bringing educators and parents together to talk and learn from each others perspectives, please email me at ldpodcast@gmail.com. We’ll get a list together and try a new service called talkshoe, that can let people participate in a podcast like a call in radio show- It’s cool!<br>Whitney Hoffman<br>The LD Podcast" );

It has been an interesting conundrum to dwell upon.I think a part of me is really responding to &quot;secrets&quot; in the workplace that don\'t really need to be secrets and information is kept from people who will experience the impact of the secret or the secret is slowly given out like one piece of candy to a child each day when adults deserve more inclusion and respect.Maybe that is it, I resent the exclusion component of &quot;secrets&quot; or the self-interest manipulation as in the case of insider trading.David" );

In my posting earlier this week, I mentioned serving it hot. With most stoves, you have four places for pans. The rice cooker serves as a nice alternative to use of the cooking spots. Of course we\'ll need to balance the counter space taking up by the gadgets with &quot;working space&quot; but that is part of the art of working in the kitchen.<br><br>My brother recently found out he needs a gluten free diet too. Thanks for that link. I am sure the recipes will help him. And me too, for when he visits I\'ll be able to have something prepared." );

It\'s great that you can now put your rice cooker to work - there must be hundreds of mouth watering recipes to try. We\'ve had a wok sitting in our pantry for about 15 years now, an old Christmas gift. Maybe we should give it a try!" );
