...film be used as a teaching tool and if so what have you learned from watching films? -Diego Sada Jr. in Monterrey, MexicoAll art is a teaching tool, especially the art of film. You're talking to someone who literally got my education through the theater and through movies because I had to learn how to play different roles. Therefore I had to track them down and find out who these people are that I was playing and what worlds they operated in and what that was all about. I never went to college.

...teacher and parent, I give No ChildLeft Behind (NCLB) a failing grade [June 4]. There is no way to fix a law that operates under the flawed assumption that tests rather than teachers should govern curriculum.

While the Faculty did vote to mandate evaluations of all teaching fellows...
...behind this august broadsheet is a staff just as fallible as any? Absolutely. But we also ran the kid’s full name, an inclusion that added no humor or news value and only resulted in there being a Google hit for “[his name] AND tool.” So keeping names out is one way we can keep college blogging civilized. But that may not be much consolation to the hardworking staffs of Harvard-Radcliffe TV and the Harvard College Democrats, whose homemade videos were described by IvyGate commenters as “TORTURE?...
