A couple interesting posts from Joanne Jacobs

Joanne Jacobs has been blogging about education for eons, in internet time. She recently passed the 1,600,000 visit mark!!! Here are selections from her recent posts:

There's been an effort recently at some schools to ban candy. Economist Tim Harford doubts they can do it. One thing jumped out at me: a student is making $100 a day selling candy on the school grounds. William Guntrip is a 13-year-old boy who buys candy at the store and retails it during school hours.

And Joanne links to an article by Scott Elliot about a high school with a video game track. The students sign up for a three year program to design, create, and sell a video game. Sounds fun.
