August - already?

All the teacher blogs are talking about back-to-school plans. My curriculum guide is all ready to go. Only just under four weeks until the first day of school.

A recent discussion on a mailing list I read became heated when someone asked, "Why do people only care about the Middle East? What about crises everywhere else?" While I don't think anyone could accuse me of only caring about one part of the globe (check out my archives for evidence), here are a few other things going on.

"Don't kill Harry Potter!" beg John Irving and Stephen King.

There is a crisis in Britain over people's inability to boil eggs.

And a real crisis to end my flippancy, elections in Congo.
