Education. The main feature of this site.
The Normal Distribution. An illustration of the bell curve.
Some quotations about education. Sense of humor required. Testimonial from an emailer: "these so called educational quotes are ridiculous and they are an insult to educators of today!" All educators and sanitation engineers are welcome to write to me.
Notes on helping underachievers. I received an email telling me how the advice on this page would be seen by his students as wussy. Cooperation, problem solving, discussion, and self-directed learning are wussy? What do you think?

ADHD versus Overexcitabilities.
Estimated True Scores. Examining one educationist's efforts to make things seem more normal.
Labeling Theory Tested: Pygmalion in the Classroom.
A Behaviorist View of Behavior Management. The bottom right corner of this table, where students are described as "passive" in managing their behavior has always amused me!
Intellectual Profiles. A pre-Gardner multiple intelligence illustration.
Goal Setting and Responsibility.
Springfield Violence. 21 May 1998. Some thoughts from the scene.
A Comparison of Developmental Theories.
