Violence in school

This subject is a passion of mine for some reason. The National Dept of Education recently published its 2009 report on violence in America's school. Read the key findings on the first few pages (7-10 or v-viii). They are interesting. What is school safetly? So how safe is our school? How safe are the students and do they really feel safe while in school? What could the school do to make this a safe place to be?

I am What I Learn

I came across a cool contest- The US Dept of Education sponsors a "I Am What I Learn" video contest. The top ten videos are posted on YouTube and viewers can vote on their favorites. You will have to watch the videos at home as YouTube is blocked at school, but they are worth watching and voting on. So, what would your I Am What I Learn video contain? What have you learned and what has that made you?
