2. The Simple Truth
By Jamie McKenzie
Sometimes the simple truth may not be the truth at all. Our students
learn about their world through a streaming flow of sound bites and
mind bytes that compress reality in ways that may distort while
simplifying. Simple truth has been the stock in trade of charlatans
and demagogues for decades, but the challenge of detecting simple
truths may have grown more difficult because of the changing
technologies and styles of broadcast journalism.

LITERACY FROM HOME LANGUAGE TO THE STANDARD
Why don't people vote? 50% of all Americans over 65 years old
are functionally illiterate. 60% of the Urban School Children do
not graduate High School of the 40% that do they are only
reading at 4th grade level. Find out more about literacy and
approaches to improving it. Learn how to successfully bridge
from the Dialect Speakers' home language to the Standard.

3. The February Cartoon
"Egg on My Face"
With wireless computer networks in university and school classrooms,
students can send helpful messages to teachers and professors such as
"You have egg on your face." Or "Your shirt has a big spaghetti sauce
stain on it." Or "You did this lecture last week." Or "Could you
please send me your lecture notes?"
