More interesting articles

Okay, I'm on a spurt of reading great articles online again. I love love love finding interesting pov's that make me think.

Anyway, here are some articles that I find very interesting. Enjoy.

*Why Great Teachers Quit And How We Might Stop the Exodus
I found this article to be a great pov on why great teachers quit after a few good years. This is a HUGE problem in the public education world and I thought there were some very interesting pov's here. I had never thought about nursing mothers as contributing to this factor but it totally makes sense now. Why it never occurred to me before now is crazy. Oh well. At least now I'm aware, right?!

*In response to the article, "Why Chinese Mothers are Superior" by Amy Chau -- here comes the rebuttal from author Lac Su, who says he was raised by two "tiger" parents and has many issues with that style of parenting. Here is his account from cnn.com - Tiger Mother Scars

*Here is a great article from Time Magazine in 2005 (that I saved in my email because I found it so fascinating!) that is a great read in addition to Amy Chau's article. Look at the parents in this article. They are CRAZY but in the opposite way. Parents Behaving Badly

*And we end with this lovely article about the disadvantages of an ivy league school. I found this to be absolutely fascinating and it goes along with the parents behaving badly article quite nicely, doesn't it?
The Disadvantages of an Elite Education

What do you think? If you have time to read these articles I highly recommend them all. I'd love to hear your thoughts. So share away!
