How to keep the grammatically challenged off the Internet.
If the atrocious illiteracy of the average Internet commenter has ever driven you to anger, frustration, or violent homicidal thoughts, you’ll love this series of Internet CAPTCHAs, created by Matthew Baldwin. By requiring you to discern from various sets of simple but somehow commonly mistaken words just to be allowed online, these CAPTCHAs would rapidly rid the web of phrases like “Your an idiot” and “I’m definately getting Nickelback tickets.” We dream of a day when this Internet entrance exam is mandatory, creating a grammatically sound, idiot-free online experience for the four of us who actually pass it. Below are several of the other word options you might encounter when taking it, followed by the screen that greets you if you fail.

—Mr. Feeny (via rodizdadynamite)Education is not about obscure facts and little test scores. Education is about the over all effect of years of slow absorption of concepts, philosophies, approaches to problem solving. The process is so grand and all encompassing that it really cannot be threatened by the occasional late night no hitter.

A morning prayer
There are so many things I take for granted. May I not ignore them today.
Just for today, help me, God, to remember that my life is a gift, that my health is a blessing, that this new day is filled with awesome potential, that I have the capacity to bring something wholly new and unique and good into this world.
Just for today, help me, God, to remember to be kind and patient to the people who love me, and to those who work with me too. Teach me to see all the beauty that I so often ignore, and to listen to the silent longing of my own soul.
Just for today, help me, God, to remember You.
Let this be a good day, God, full of joy and love. Amen.

NYT reporter David Brooks asked readers over 70 to write autobiographical essays evaluating their own lives. The collection is fascinating and filled with humor, sadness, regret, joy, and life lessons. These would make for a great addition to a social studies or language arts classroom. Though, they are also suitable for your own personal enjoyment.
