Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share,
- Daniele Bolelli: The Brilliant but Joyless Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius. I agree to a point. Meditations was a diary and as such was meant as booth a criticism and reminder to Marcus Aurelius and was never meant for a wider audience. Now his son Commodus on the other hand...
- Could school choice work on a federal level. Interesting idea about giving school choice payments to members of the military and those on Indian Reservations.
- Do your job: The Art of Winning. Already have the book on my reading list.
- Glow in the dark bunnies - coming to a store near you. Sorry but getting more of an Island of Dr Moreau feel to this than the warm and fuzzies.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Jonathan Turley on why the jurors in Trump's trial should rule 'not guilty.' Trump's only crime is the fact he was elected President.
- What happens when Charter Schools are so successful that public schools could shut down? "Public schools are in trouble because their product is inferior to that of private and Charter schools."
Never understood the argument that school choice would be the death of public schools. If that were true wouldn't that mean that if parents were given a choice - none would send their kids willingly to public schools? Isn't that indictment on the quality of the education? Wouldn't competition force the public schools to improve their game and insure a better quality of teachers?
I've already said I'm for school choice. You don't have to sell it to me. (Meme via)
If Catholic Schools were a state - they would be the highest rated state in the country when it comes to school test scores. Across the board. Who wouldn't want their child to receive the best education? Fund students - not schools! (Via)

- West Virginia implements the most expansive school choice program in the country. Good for West Virginia! It will be interesting to see how this program effects state standardized test score. (HT Instapundit)
- Personal data from over 500 million Facebook users leaked online. Why anyone is still on Facebook is beyond me.
