Ivy League Preschool http://theweek.com/article/index/213260/school-suspends-student-for-possession-of-acne-medication-and-more Yes, both of these little tidbits have to deal with education; and yes, both are slightly ridiculous.

Learning from Libya http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/22/the-events-in-libya-using-reporting-and-multimedia-to-understand-news/ For me, what’s happening in the Middle East and North Africa is amazing; it’s is invigorating and makes me feel empowered.
