...Harvard students, CityStep is a program that mixes two of their passions: dance and children. Whether as an in-school teacher who wakes up early twice a week to work with a class of fifth-grade Cambridge public school students, or as an after-school teacher who meets twice a week in the Quad, each Harvard volunteer makes a huge commitment to the program, the other teachers and most importantly their students...
...This low-grade name-calling is ridiculous. I propose that next year's Harvard-Brown game be replaced by a WWF Smackdown-style confrontation in which the top five trash-talkers from each team sit at midfield, facing each other Family Feud style. Each can have a microphone, with the captain of each team serving...
Wampler and her students illustrate the latest math concept in elementary education: kindergarten = first grade. Kindergarten--so fondly remembered by baby boomers for show-and-tell and building blocks--has changed. Standardized curriculum and testing in primary schools are causing what educators call "push-down" academics. The need to perform well on tests filters down, landing on the youngest learners.

They spend more time sitting still, listening to the teacher and drilling on the basics...
...have a couple we idealize. For some it's Burns and Allen, for others it's Tracy and Hepburn, and for yet others it's Siegfried and Roy. For me it was Howard and Alison Stern. I became infatuated with their marriage in sixth grade, listening to Stern's local radio show after school. Here was a guy who was married but getting away with spanking strippers. As an 11-year-old I didn't know much about marriage, but if it included spanking strippers, I was ready to take my vows...
...writer? If not, skip to the next paragraph--don't read this one! If so, please continue. Does it seem as if all your fellow aspiring poets and writers are on their way to literary stardom, while you still churn out poetry that belongs in your eighth grade writing workshop class? Or worse yet, your creative genius doesn't conform to what those mainstream people can tolerate. Fear not! Those talented and creative Harvard kids run/start up so many different publications, focusing on anything and everything and whatever might fall in between that you'd have to try really hard...
