What's new at Improve-Education.org?
ARTICLE #3: LATIN LIVES
ON; GREEK LIVES ON...not new but never old. 333 common words identical in Latin and English. 131 words virtually identical
in Greek and English. Not just for Latin teachers, this material belongs in most English and History classes.
ARTICLE #16: THE PLIGHT OF POETRY...a rant making the point that professors have
a tendency to celebrate the most boring poems. Once the Queen of the arts, Poetry was expected to be entertaining and lively,
as song is today.
ARTICLE #17: UNDERSTANDING ROBOTS. A wonderful introduction
to robotics. (FYI: The hand below sells for about $100,000.)
ARTICLE
#21: A TRIBUTE TO RUDOLPH FLESCH. At last, an explanation of why whole word is bad for children. There are four other articles
about reading, see especially "30: The War Against Reading."
Note: Improve-Education.org has expanded to 48 articles and 100,000 words of original
content. Now in its fifth year. This site is dedicated to improving American education. Join the crusade!
