...least popular sentence of the entire 1996 campaign and instructed Republican candidates to "find common ground with public school teachers." As fed up as many Americans are with the sorry state of the country's public schools, they have generally regarded teachers as the good guys: the ones who stay late, who buy textbooks out of their meager salaries. So while Republicans still detest the two formidable teachers' unions--the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers--for their fealty to the Democrats, they know better than to sound anti-teacher. "When it comes right down...
Anxious, Parker Bowles, the 51-year-old divorce who helped break up the Prince's marriage to Diana, offered to exit. But Charles encouraged her to stay; Wills was looking forward to an introduction. When the teenager arrived, the threesome spent half an hour sipping tea and soft drinks. After Wills left, Parker Bowles reportedly asked for a vodka tonic to calm her nerves.

Both advise boy-specific nurturing techniques, like engaging in action-oriented activity that will lead to conversation instead of asking direct "How do you feel?" questions.

Gurian's all for connection, but primarily in the form of male bonding--with coaches, teachers, scout leaders...
...decision to fire Johnson--sorry, "Ms. God"--may seem like a no-brainer. But in fact she stayed on the job another year, presumably enlivening class but probably not serving Florida's future terribly well. How did she stay so long? She chose the right career: rigid work rules and languorous appeals procedures make teaching a profession from which it is almost impossible to be fired. Which isn't to demean the millions of teachers who work hard for sweatshop wages. But when, for example, only .02% of Florida teachers were dismissed for incompetence last year, you know there...
