I posted on his blog about time telling. He stated that we tell someone the time by saying 6:30 and not a half hour after six, yet we still teach children that it is a quarter after six. Why? I replied back that I still think it is very important that our children know how to use a circular clock rather than to always rely on digital clocks. You never know when you may need to know time on a circular clock. I think circular clocks are also more useful in understanding and teaching how time works, functions and how to add and subtract time. Check out his blog on this.

This post from Ira Socol was about the people who are rooting for public schools to fail. I commented on his blog and stated that I find it appalling that people are actually not wanting public school to succeed. He makes some great points and this blog is completely worth the read.
