Mamacita says:  Welcome to the Education Buzz, where parents and instructors and good citizens find out what’s really going on in the world of education by actively participating in the sharing of ideas, information, and suggestions. Remember, if you don’t keep up on what’s happening, you won’t KNOW what’s happening. And if you choose not to know what’s happening, you forfeit all whining rights. Yes, ALL of them.

That’s it for the Education Buzz.  I hope I haven’t left anyone out, except, of course, for the free essay people and the salespeople and the “10 Things” people and the people with a political agenda and that same guy who submits his business catalog every time.  I also didn’t include any posts that didn’t accept comments, because the Education Buzz is about interaction, not lecturing.  If anyone would like to duke it out with me over any of these factors, bring it on.  If I have omitted your perfectly good post, however, PLEASE let me know right away, for it was not my intention to leave out anyone who actually had something relevant to say.

The next Education Buzz will be hosted by the one and only Steve Spangler.  Here is the Education Buzz submission link!
