The Quest for Khao Soi: Terminal Thai in the East Village
http://khaosoi.blogspot.com/2008/02/terminal-thai-in-east-village.html
The Quest for Khao Soi. Searching for the perfect version. Of the perfect Thai dish in New York City. Thursday, February 21, 2008. Terminal Thai in the East Village. It's been a while since a posting from your friendly neighborhood Khao. Mostly because I'm running out of places to try the dish at, unless I get reports from you, my fearless readers, of Khao. Serving joints in the far reaches of Gotham. Here and there I bike by a Thai restaurant and perhaps one out of 20 has some form of Khao. And sometime...

The Quest for Khao Soi: Rhong is Right in Greenwich Village

The Quest for Khao Soi. Searching for the perfect version. Of the perfect Thai dish in New York City. Monday, July 14, 2008. Rhong is Right in Greenwich Village. Sorry I've been so incommunicado recently, but I have several good excuses: I've been showing up on New York Times videos about delicious mangosteens. Replanning the trip I'm co-leading to Bali in September. Several months ago now (wow, has it been that long since that existential experience? After a Moth Story Slam. Where my pseudonym is ephram...

Elementary Rat: Testing Everything, Twice Annually.
http://elementaryrat.blogspot.com/2013/06/testing-everything-twice-annually.html
My punishment for years of running with scissors: teaching today's scissor marathoners. Hoarding All the Glitter Since 2001. Testing Everything, Twice Annually. From the New York Times. Series "Teachers are Crazy Lazy" - irritated me. Everything else about the article led to teeth-grinding. Someone neglected to tell the Times. Is that the teacher's fault? Eugh, I can just imagine the rhetoric of HIGH EXPECTATIONS and whatnot). I do not believe that children learn best from these methods, and I know they ...

Elementary Rat: Internet Holiday
http://elementaryrat.blogspot.com/2013/08/internet-holiday.html
My punishment for years of running with scissors: teaching today's scissor marathoners. Hoarding All the Glitter Since 2001. Soooooooo I have been enjoying this really delightful holiday from education news (well, most of the time), SFUSD factoids (haven't read a BoE agenda in months), and so on. Anyway, said holiday is ending, I think. I hope you are OK and had a good year. I miss reading your posts. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San Francisco, California, United States.

http://elementaryrat.blogspot.com/2015/02/in-exchange-for-that-12-raise.html
My punishment for years of running with scissors: teaching today's scissor marathoners. Hoarding All the Glitter Since 2001. In exchange for that 12% raise. For this year's 4%, District teachers are doing way more than 4% new work:. We are required to use two new data systems. Neither was ready by its projected roll-out date, so no preservice professional development was provided. We must also use a new mailing list/online storage system to access the still-unfinished math program. This year, I am writin...

Elementary Rat: And that's that.
http://elementaryrat.blogspot.com/2013/06/and-thats-that.html
My punishment for years of running with scissors: teaching today's scissor marathoners. Hoarding All the Glitter Since 2001. For the first time in years, I checked out on Friday. Most of my stuff is in storage; what I needed to get through the last few weeks is piled up haphazardly in my home (along with the chickens and the two chicks I kept). Now, off to sleep for the rest of the weekend. Congrats. E Rat. I hope you get some well deserved rest this summer. Good luck with the new assignment in the Fall.

Elementary Rat: And So It Begins. Again.
http://elementaryrat.blogspot.com/2013/08/and-so-it-begins-again.html
My punishment for years of running with scissors: teaching today's scissor marathoners. Hoarding All the Glitter Since 2001. And So It Begins. Again. So I took the summer off from blogging. Truth be told, I took the summer off from teaching. Other than two planning days at my new school, a couple of planning days with my last Resident (who's got my old job), a couple of furtive glances at first grade teaching manuals, and several classroom purchases, I spent the summer doing other things. Because of the ...

My punishment for years of running with scissors: teaching today's scissor marathoners. Hoarding All the Glitter Since 2001. In today's New York Times. There's an entire article on how naughty educators aren't protecting student data. The article fails to mention inBloom. That seems like a gaping hole in the coverage. Unless you take the opinion that educators around the nation are lazily failing to protect their students and corporate America will do a far better job monetizing education. National Educa...
