Finding the Fulcrum: Legitimizing Education Reform
http://findingthefulcrum.blogspot.com/2015/02/illegitimate-reform.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. I've been thinking a lot about education reform and the Common Core lately. I had a very interesting and enlightening conversation recently with someone who has some perspective from inside the system, and it's got me thinking. And found that it clicked for me. Specifically, it gave me some insight on why the rollout of the common core in NY has been so rough (at least in part):. When criticisms of reform, testing regimes, and new standards have voiced their objections, they h...

Finding the Fulcrum: Failure
http://findingthefulcrum.blogspot.com/2013/05/failure.html
Saturday, May 25, 2013. Dear Trumansburg Central School District:. Please, allow my daughter to fail. Allow my son to fail, too. He might need it even more. In fact, while we're at it, I'd like all of the children in our district to be allowed to fail. What good does it do her to be able to work independently if she's never allowed to work independently? When I started my college career, my intended major was computer science. Why? That made me stop and think. Except that I didn't want to. I had no d...

Finding the Fulcrum: A little wine, a little beer
http://findingthefulcrum.blogspot.com/2010/03/little-wine-little-beer.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. A little wine, a little beer. I've been watching the current round of debate on New York State allowing the sales of wine in grocery stores with some interest. I also watched the last time, when it got lobbied to death. I, for one, like the idea that if I want wine with dinner instead of beer, I can get it without a special trip to a different store. Then, I stumbled upon the fact that Pennsylvania is debating the exact same thing, except with respect to beer. In the end, I suspec...

Finding the Fulcrum: July 2015
http://findingthefulcrum.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. I don't get mad, I get odd. This started as a comment in someone else's FB post, and then I decided that it was enough of its own thing that I should put it here. It was a post on the subject of gun violence and gun control. The quote that inspired my reaction was, "It's time to get mad. We do no have to be nice to these people.". Yeah, I thought so. Yes You need to acknowledge their stance as valid, even if you disagree with it. Be interpreted. But that's a different debate...

Finding the Fulcrum: Thursday quickie
http://findingthefulcrum.blogspot.com/2008/10/thursday-quickie.html
Thursday, October 2, 2008. A couple of quick thoughts, following on the last couple of posts:. First of all, thanks to Uncle Mikey for pimping me over in Uncle Mikey Explains the Inexplicable. If you somehow stumbled here through some other pathway, go over and see his take on the game. Second, if you're looking for a regular dose of what-the-heck-is-this-stuff in the finance world, but presented in a way that non-finance types can understand, check out American Public Media's Marketplace.
