My teenage cousin – you know the one I go to all the metal concerts with – is working on a movie. So far he's shot it, needs to reshoot some stuff, and has finished the trailer. He hopes to go to film school someday so he is always honing his celluloid skills. As with any pissed off teenagers, it's full of blood and guns and fighting and lots of the f-word.

Vengeance Teaser Trailer
How Long Is Yours?
I have been reading my mathematics textbook, “Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developments” sixth edition by J. Van De Walle, and I stumbled onto a statistic that made my jaw drop.
The textbook quoted a study (Kenny & Kouba, 1997) where “only 24 percent of fourth-grade students and 62 percent of eighth-grade students could give the correct measure of an object not aligned with the end of the ruler.” (Update: originally I typed that they "could not" give the correct measure. The stat is right now.)
Sixty-two percent of eighth graders could not measure the crayon above if the crayon sits in the middle of the ruler. That is because we teach mathematics incorrectly and we have for decades. We focus on learning the procedure and take no time to help children develop the concepts. In this case, we need to explore, not the hash marks on the ruler, but the space between them. In other words, what is it that a ruler actually does and means? Then we can teach the appropriate rules on using a ruler.
I would think boys would be especially interested in learning how to use a ruler properly. They do tend to like to measure thingy-dingys. Maybe that’s the problem. They want to see a thin 3-inch crayon as a fat 6-inch marker.
(In the interest of disclosure you should know this post is using secondary sourcing. I pulled the stats from my textbook and not the original study.)
Kenney, P.A., & Kouba, V.L. (1997). What do students know about measurement? In P.A. Kenney & E. Silver (Eds.), Results from the sixth mathematics assessment of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (pp. 141-163). Reston, VA: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Kindergarten Student Suspended for … Mohawk
His mohawk is so distracting to the educational process that it simply cannot be tolerated, according to the school district. Thanks to The Early Show for the story. The mother has been warned before. Based on my observation of the haircut, pictured here, it appears to be all of 2-3 inches at the most.
I’ve been in all kinds of schools – middle class schools, Title I schools (low income) and schools in between. I’ve seen kids elementary school children with mohawks, ear piercings and colored hair. The business of school goes calmly by with no problems.
Says the principal: “Ruda's hair became a disruption more recently when Ruda arrived freshly shorn.
There is either more going on here and the school is using his “disrupting” haircut as a way to rid themselves of a troubling parent, or the school is just being too invasive in their desire to force cultural beliefs onto students and families.
Sometimes, elementary schools can tend to be a bit of a microcosm of religious conservatism at least as far as the administrations and teachers are concerned. Remember, I said sometimes. Think back to the craft fair holiday vests and denim jumpsuits of many elementary teachers. Sometimes, elementary schools can have blinders on about the particular cultural standards and beliefs they feel should be represented by all families with children.
Where the Mom messed up is that she should gone to the superintendent and then the school board, rather than rushing to the media. That’s just bad form.

The Rubber Room
New York City has a school system where there are more students (1,100,000) than the total population of some states. As with any Juggernaut, there are problems – big problems – that seem to have no solution in site.
When teachers in NY are accused of some kind of wrongdoing, they are sent to “The Rubber Room,” a holding cell of sorts where they have no duties, no goals, no nothing. They sit, draw their pay, and wait until there is an investigation and adjudication, which can reportedly take months. Total cost for the off-capus site is in excess of $25 million.
Five Boroughs Productions is creating a documentary about the issue called … you guessed it … The Rubber Room. Watch the trailer. It looks very interesting.

Roaming the Red Rug at the Blogaronis
Red Carpet my behind. We are nowhere near as fancy as all that. More like Red Rugs if you ask me. With all that, I will host the event because of Larry’s [ahem] scheduling snafu. I’m sensing a smear campaign in his absence. That’ll teach him to duck out on us.
Don’t expect the paparazzi and forget about valet parking. You will have to drive your own butt to the Blogaroni’s, park your own clunker, and waddle yourselves to the meeting room. So help me, if anyone wears a tie ….
By the way, this is at Panera, so bloggers can bring their progeny as their ain't no moonshine.

Walter and Jeff Dunham # 1
While I'm linking YouTube videos, why not liven the place up a bit with some funnies. A classmate of mine pointed me to these clips by ventriloquist Jeff Dunham.
Democrats, Not Republicans, Fought Civil Rights Legislation, Started the KKK
It was Frances Rice, chair of the National Black Republican Association who said it, according to NewsMax. Those evil Democrats, you know the ones who preach tolerance and acceptance, apparently want African Americans oppressed and poor.
“The Democratic Party has built its power base on the backs of poor blacks, and they want to keep blacks poor, angry, and voting for Democrats,” said Rice. The Dems, she maintains, “fought to keep blacks in slavery, started the Ku Klux Klan to terrorize blacks, and fought civil rights legislation.”
She goes on to say that the Democratic Party is the architect of modern day racism, according to the NewsMax report. You really must read the article for yourself. Click here.
What some nuts will go to just to smear those who disagree with them.

I’d Like to Thank …
There were no big winners during last night’s Academy Awards. No movie take-overs and no real comedy by Jon Stewart. He had his funny moments, and I really like the guy, but nothing memorable. I wonder if the writer’s strike had anything to do with that? I take that back. Jon Stewart did one really memorable thing. Those crazy Academy musicians cut one winner off completely from giving any kind of speech. After the break, Jon Stewart brought her back out on stage and let her give a speech. Good for him and shame on the Oscar director for being such an a-hole.
I really need to see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. It won both Best Director and Best Picture, so it’s worth a look-see.
Jews: The Synagogue of Satan
While I am writing about crazy preachers, why not show you what this Baptist preacher says about the other religions. He categorizes Judaism as the "Synagogue of Satan." He's none too happy about Catholics either, lumping them into the group of false religions. Amazing as Catholics are ... uh ... Christians too.
This is nothing new to me, as I heard these kinds of sermons all the time when I was growing up. We were taught that Catholicism was a "cult."
Baptist "Pisses" Like a Man
This Baptist preacher is obviously anointed by God. He felt felt the need to preach on the passage: "him that pisseth against the wall." And boy did he preach it. His point: Men need to stand to urinate. No kidding, this is the great message.
(Just so you know, my name is Fat Jack and I am a recovering Baptist.)

And the Razzie Goes to …
The anti-Oscars (Razzie) have been awarded and the winners, who are really losers, must stink something awful as two movies had a big run. There were other bad pictures out there this year, yet somehow the Razzie’s focused in on Norbit and I Know Who Killed Me. It’s just out and yet somehow I see Cletus the Cable Guy’s new movie, Witless Protection, in the running for a Razzie. That slack-jawed knuckle dragger has enough hair on his back and neck to weave me a wig to make Dee Snider proud.
The ostentatious nonsense known as Hairspray should have been nominated in the GODAWFUL MUSICAL category. All penguin movies should not only get Razzies, but should be banned from theatres and only allowed to go straight to DVD, if they must at all. I’m sure there are more stinkers out there. If Skinny Kitty had anything to say, all fantasy and sci-fi movies would be nominees for Razzies. Feel free to comment about the movies you hated this year. Save us all the pain of spending money on the DVD rental.
Here’s the list of Razzie losers this year:

Girl Scout Cookies are in!
You read it correctly. Girl Scout cookies are in. If you happened to call/email us to place an order then get ready to crunch down on some girl-cookie goodness. If the girl scout does not call you, then you might shoot me an email or call. We had cases of cookies and it is easy to overlook.
Comic Podcast Hits the Local Blogosphere
Some local bloggers and comic book lovers are doing a monthly podcast on the genre. Larry of Simple Thoughts of a Complex Mind, Chris at The Graphic Classroom, and Bryan over on Dad's on a Rant are the trio laying down the hour-long track over at Larry's blog. According to Larry's blog post, Bryan left town before the premiere because of inclement weather. Better luck next time.
We are fans of the medium and glad the three are getting together to podcast. I wonder how many bloggers and blog readers out there are comic fans and how many are also readers of traditional literature? Chime in you bastards. Leave comments. Scream, shout and take a bow.

Fit-Pitching in the Land of the Free and Home of the Power Hungry
Democrats are preparing to do what they do best: self-destruct in the face of success. They just can’t seem to help themselves. The excitement of a possible landslide against Republicans is like a fresh steak and the dogs can’t help but fight over it, rather than share. We left-learning do-gooders get caught up in our own self-serving desire to get the credit for change, I guess.
She would be a good president, Hillary Clinton. I like her. I like them both. I liked all three of the top Democratic contenders. But the fact of the matter is that the person who wins the popular vote should be the nominee. The person with the most delegates should be the nominee. And here’s the thing that everyone else but Hillary seems to know: to circumvent that process is to disenfranchise the excited voters new to the process this year, further the rampant idea that our individual vote does not count, and finally it is to be dishonest. Starting off a campaign by cheating is some kind of bad foreshadowing folks.
Sniderman received an email from the Hillary camp, suggesting that the Superdelegates are the only persons who are capable of determining who is best for the United States.
Nice spin but I do not think most voters will fall for it. Americans have a sense of decency and fairness. Usurping the vote of an excited electorate by using smoky back room deals is politics as usual and most of us find it disgusting. In fact, these Big Boss decisions on our behalf are the reasons many people do not vote. Those same Big Bosses who vote against the people will likely find themselves out of job during the next election. I suspect they are figuring that out.
Rest assured that both candidates are courting the Super-Ds. Both Hillary and Barack wants to win. No doubt about it. Think back to the stealing of the presidency by George W. back in 2000. He won alright, but only thorugh back door politics and it set the stage for a horrible presidency and I am not prepared to allow the same thing to happen now.
We would not be talking about back door elections at all if delegates, superdelegates and the electoral college were not in place to begin with. These are antiquated policies. Each person in the US should have his or her vote count, and count equally, with every other person’s vote. Period. I really do not think that the Superdelegates are any smarter than any of us and I certainly do not think they are more honest or upstanding. Rich maybe, but not more ethical.
Here is how it stands as of today, according to CNN.com
Barack – 1,319 Delegates, 161 Superdelegates
Clinton – 1,250 Delegates, 234 Superdelegates
Regardless of who wins, the win needs to be above board and in the hands of the voters. I may have voted for Barack, but I like them both. If one of them wins by cheating, I will be very offended and hold that against them.

No Reason to Call Off School
Looks like Springfield Public Schools made the right decision not to cancel school today. I left the university at 3 pm and the roads were fine, just fine – wet and slushy, but drivable. I thought for sure, would have bet a paycheck, that the district would close by 1:30 at the latest. In fact, I was a bit perplexed that they did not close school, but by the time I left MSU I knew they made a good call.
Plenty of folks were mad enough, but that is the way it always goes. Last time Ridder ended early the sensationalist media whores were video taping every toothless fool with a Marlboro hanging out his mouth about how inconvenienced they were that they had to leave work and get their kid. “Screw safety, I’m at work” mentality really upsets me. There’s no pleasing the public.

Finger Licking Good
Experience tells me that when someone says “it’s not about the money” you can count on the fact that it is, indeed, all about the money. Same for sex. Especially for sex. “It’s not about the sex” criticisms are all about sex – dirty, sticky, sweaty, naughty sex.
I don’t care who Bill Clinton slept with and I don’t care who John McCain may (or many not) have slept with. Who gives a piddley-damn about the sexual indiscretions of politicians? Haven’t we learned by now that there is no such thing as a Christian politicians?
Huckabee. Romney. I’m looking at you two.
Maybe Congress will feel the need to overstep their bounds and hold hearings on the subject of Sen. McCain’s sexual history. They can drag his behind in to the chambers and grill him at length about how often he pulls his pud and diddles the hottest lobbiest. He could point his finger at the camera and denounce his cigar smoking, and we could feel self-righteous in our condemnation of the old guy. The Republicans could rid themselves of The Maverick once and for all.
Judas Priest!
Unless he is nailing underage kids, or those he has direct power over, then forget about it. The puritanical religious zealots and sensationalistic media whores can salivate, shake, masturbate, then whip themselves bloody over the guilt of their own chicken choking. I’ve had enough.

80 Years of Oscar
Thank heavens the writer’s strike is over so Jon Stewart can do his thing at the Academy Awards. School, as you already know, gets in the way of my movie watching. As long as JUNO has been in the theaters, I still have not had the chance to see it. Terrible, ain’t it?
My brother-in-law ranted and raved about NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, which is another one I really wanted to see. We did manage to see SWEENEY TODD and it was wonderful. We loved it. I wanted to see PERSEPOLIS, as it is based on a graphic novel, but alas, I did not. Other than that, there was not a whole lot that really enthused me about the nominations this year. Here is a list of the nominated films we saw:
I’m having chili, salad and a beer, then sitting down to view the whole ordeal. We are having just a couple of friends over – nothing like we used to do. We don’t have the money for a big blow out. The few coming are teachers and I’m sure we will talk shop, much to the chagrin of the spouses. Should be fun, just the same.
The goal now is to get all the homework done on Friday and Saturday so I can rest and relax on Sunday. I am going to make a spicy vegetarian chili this year. I’ve never made it before and I’m just making it up as I go, using my meat chili recipe as the base. I hope it’s good. If everyone eats salad instead, then I will know to go back to the drawing board.
Supposedly, Jon Stewart only had two weeks to prepare for the fun festivities. Yeah, right. Does anyone else really believe that? Writer’s strike or no, I suspect he’s been working on his material for a while. I look forward to his performance. He’s a funny guy. Here is a list of the

Education at Work: The Ladybird Beetle
The Ladybug LandMy daughter and I have been studying the ladybug (Coleomegilla maculata) for a science project at my school. I am in the midst of learning how to teach science to students. That is to say, that my professors want me to be able to help the students discover science, rather than just sit through lectures, fill our worksheets, label drawings and take tests. The hope is that students actually learn science through investigation – inquiry – which helps them internalize and remember the information for years to come.
A look at the pupal stage (left) and the larva stage (right).The larva is preparing to pupate.
So rather than just see pictures of ladybugs, we have a Ladybug Land full of adults. They were not always adults. When they arrived, I have a host of little ladybug larvae running around. Because of the cold, most of them died in transport. Six larva made it to pupa stage, but only five adults emerged. We have studied their lifecycle, ran a light/dark experiment, collected data, made inferences and predictions, and documented our results.
Ladybugs mating (we think).It’s been a lot of fun. I kept them on my desk, where I do my homework and blogging, so I would be sure to pay attention to them. Indeed, I logged almost three times the journal entries that were necessary. Because of it, I have witnessed them turning from larva to pupa and then witnessed the emergence from pupa to adult. It has been very cool, very rewarding, and very worthwhile. We were especially interested in their mating habits. We saw, what we believe to be, their mating ritual. It lasted for days – the dirty little rascals can flat “do it.”
Another pic of them "doing it".The written report was 21 pages long and includes daily entries, KWL chart, data tables, observations, inferences, measurements, predictions, photos, and research. I worked on it along the way and it still took me hours to prepare. It was a lot of work, but in the end I think it was worth it. We learned a lot about ladybugs and science education.
By the way, that macro setting on my little digital camera came in very handy when taking pictures of these little "ladies". (There are both male and female ladybugs.)

Daddy-Daughter Date on Valentine's Day
Skinny Kitty was out of town on Valentine’s Day, so that left the daughter and I to our own devices. I picked her up from school and we scooted home quick-quick, let the dog out, then headed to the Springfield 8 to see The Spiderwick Chronicles. This movie was based on the very popular series of children’s books by the same name.
She was hungry after school and we didn’t have time to get her a snack, so we picked her up a kid’s pack (popcorn, snack and drink) for cheap at the concession stand. It wasn’t until after they made hers that I remembered they offer a healthy kid’s snack (popcorn, granola and a juice). We will opt for that next time.
She jumped at the monsters and beasties, covered her eyes, and did that very cute kid thing of looking through the fingers of her hand. She was a bit scared but loved it at the same time. As the credits rolled, she exclaimed that she wanted to buy it on DVD. I guess that is a ringing endorsement. It really was a good kid’s movie.
