Links to interesting postings - 2 December 2006

Over at Corn and Oil Susan writes about one of those moments that makes believers of homeschooling: It's the passion. You don't schedule these events, but you can create an environment which allows them to happen.

From The Common Room the Headmistress reports on a fascinating study: Multi-Tasking, Not. An uninterrupted group did better by an average of ten points than a second group also taking the test while doing email and being bothered by telephones.

Semicolon is hosting her dynamic weekly book review carnival: Saturday Review of Books: December 2, 2006. If you've reviewed a book recently you can submit it via her blog.

Shannon, at PHAT Mommy, reminds us that It’s the Parenting, Stupid. Also check out the comments.

And on a lighter note I enjoyed Dave Barry's column from 1997 on the SAT test: HOW DO YOU SPELL S-A-T?

Two months I blogged about visiting Alaska by getting the newspaper. The author of one of the articles I referenced has a blog: Alaska The View From Up Here. It is like visiting another world.
