- providing them will less feedback,
- demanding less effort of them,
- interrupting them more often,
- seating them farther away from the teacher,

- Study: American Students Doing Badly (ABC News)
"In a study of how good 15-year-olds are in math, the 'big, bad' USA ranked 24 out of 29 countries. That's behind the Czech Republic. Behind New Zealand. Twenty-fourth out of 29!"
"It's not bad enough that the United States ranked near the bottom of the list. What's more disturbing is that our students actually did worse than they did the last time the test was given. The results from the first test embarrassed U.S. educators. They discussed plans to do something radical to improve math studies. Obviously, not much happened, because U.S. kids on the latest test fell behind three more countries: Hungary, Poland, and Spain."
"If the test had simply asked students to solve an equation, or answer a multiple-choice question, U.S. students would have done OK. But researchers wanted to see how well students could use the math they learned in a real world situation." 12-04
- Military Collecting Data on High School Students (ABC News)
"Working with the private marketing firm BeNow, Inc. of Wakefield, Mass., the Pentagon has created a huge database of millions of high school students, aged 16 to 18."
"But privacy advocates say it violates a federal law that restricts the government's ability to gather personal information. They say they understand the military's need to recruit but this type of information-gathering goes too far."
"A growing number of parents were already upset about the military's recruiting techniques. A little-known provision in the 2002 'No Child Left Behind' education law requires every public school to provide the military with the names, addresses and phone numbers of students."
"Last month, Louise Wannier went to her daughter's high school to submit an opt-out letter, which prohibits recruiters from accessing personal information."
"She learned today about the new database, which may have much more information on her daughter than she'd ever imagined." 6-05

"Along with the radio transmitter, the stuffed spacesuit also will have internal sensors to monitor temperature and battery power. As it floats along, it will transmit its temperature, battery power and time it has been in space to the ground." 02-06
