...survey suggested that most students complete only 43 percent of their assigned reading—regardless of the length of their reading list. However, citing Social Studies 10 as an example, he explained that this number almost doubles when students understand the rationale behind the syllabus...
...love (both explicitly and implicitly) for artists as disparate as Os Mutantes, Prince and James Taylor, Beck begins 2005 with a paean to…Nintendo? This 4-track internet-only EP (intended as a hors d’oeuvre of remixes before next month’s full length Guero) is singularly devoted to the noise of obsolescent gaming technology.
