While higher education is discussed, let’s turn shortly to the status of the basics.

Above the example of Arduenn, who’s child is wrongly corrected in maths. I find it unbelievable that teachers who cannot even count with their fingers are allowed in class. According to this Elsevier-article of 2006 the level of PABO-students is not all that good: PABO-students from mbo are really bad: Almost 3/4 of them, doesn’t even reach the level of a smart 12-year old student.
SHAME!

If education at that age is that bad, no wonder that students score badly later.

And here’s another one.

Listening to stories widens the imagination; telling them lets us leap over cultural walls, embrace different experiences, feel what others feel. Elif Shafak builds on this simple idea to argue that fiction can overcome identity politics. I feel (without walls) therefore i’m free.

What was unexpected was that many of the men who sat long hours and developed heart problems also exercised. Quite a few of them said they did so regularly and led active lifestyles. The men worked out, then sat in cars and in front of televisions for hours, and their risk of heart disease soared, despite the exercise. Their workouts did not counteract the ill effects of sitting.
Most of us have heard that sitting is unhealthy. But many of us also have discounted the warnings, since we spend our lunch hours conscientiously visiting the gym.

Within a year swimming at the US East-Coast (and a substantial amount of the natural sea life there) is over? Yup, keep thinking its no big deal Maimi, New York, etc.
