Interesting you would say that; as it turns out, it is both private corporations and our own governments that are pushing for "results-based" educational practices despite what research and best practices about teaching and learning have shown to be true (that high-stakes testing and teaching to the test are at best…

Stupidity rules the world.

Agreed. Needs more structure.

High school students do not have overly insane course loads. I teach in Canada, and if anything, the courses and amount of work required has gotten easier (plus we are no longer allowed to fail or academically penalize a student for late work, so no deadline stress either!) Having a job is not only a good idea if you…

Oh believe me, EVERY. SINGLE. PART. Of me is pregnant. Not just the obvious parts. ;-P

Think of all the dust bunnies you could catch with those things. Yeah.

Applause! Impressive!

Lagerfeld's physicians need to start regulating his meds more carefully.

Bahahaha.

Yes, well, I have yet to find a country that doesn't have some kind of racism, be it casual or systemic. Don't throw stones. This guy is obviously a douche.

Yes, this is disgusting. Jezebel is a shadow of its former self.

Too bad it's a commercial for such a horrible product.

I'm not sure I'm lacking in historical knowledge, just that my scope was admittedly shorter than yours; to those of us who well recall the anti-fur protests and animal rights rallies of the 90's and 2000's, the re-emergence of so much fur on designer runways is puzzling and disheartening. I was focusing on a more…

Too true! Everyone is an asshole about something. But does that mean everyone is entitled to be an asshole about anything they like? Are there some things it's okay to be an asshole about, while others are "off limits"? Are we all just becoming bigger assholes as a backlash against the politically-correct discourse…

Go Tesla museum! ;-)

Fascinating article. Maybe it all just comes down to the female ass. Sigh.

I really like this line of thinking, you are on to something for sure; there are no clear answers and very few obvious "best practices" for citizens, governments or corporations to follow.

This woman is a crazy mess, the poster child for fashion victims everywhere. She always looks like she lets designers chew her up and spew her back out. What an embarrassment.

No, I would agree with that, but our appetite for unethical and unsustainable processes and products is greater than it ever has been. And that makes us an exponentially greater collective asshole.

No, admittedly they weren't, but they also didn't consume at the rate we do now, or have the means to harvest materials (or animals) on the massive scale we do now, or have the same worship of all mighty capitalism and profit we do now. The fact that our greed and lack of ethics is directly connected to the way we…
