A world with no homework... just home "lectures"?

I give this idea high marks for creativity, and I think it would have worked with me. But I am not sure if most students could manage to put their teacher first, when YouTube has so much empty entertainment to offer. Then again, maybe the answer is the same either way - disciplined students or disciplining parents.

However, instead of lecturing about polynomials and exponents during class time – and then giving his young charges 30 problems to work on at home – Fisch has flipped the sequence. He’s recorded his lectures on video and uploaded them to YouTube for his 28 students to watch at home. Then, in class, he works with students as they solve problems and experiment with the concepts.
Lectures at night, “homework” during the day. Call it the Fisch Flip.
“When you do a standard lecture in class, and then the students go home to do the problems, some of them are lost. They spend a whole lot of time being frustrated and, even worse, doing it wrong,” Fisch told me.

Romney Continues to Waver on Abortion

In reading this article at ABC News, two things stood out. One, ABC News is trying to put the screws to Romney. Two, Romney is trying to avoid losing any votes due to abortion views. In the article, Mitt Romney explains that he would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade, leaving the choice of abortion up to the states. Previously, he stated that he supported the Republican pro-life platform. He responded to this dichotomy by saying that ultimately he wants to see the abortion banned, but that a national ban is not achievable at this time. Instead, he would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade. Which way will Romney end up choosing if elected president?

I'll Vote Yes, Unless I Vote No

Hilary Clinton is the new John Kerry. In what is the Democrats' biggest issue, Clinton won't commit to a troop deadline nor will she commit to not having a troop deadline. I remember an episode of The Daily Show that I saw where they had a mock interview on whether or not Clinton would run for President that played off of her flip-flopping back then. You'll have to read the article. To try to pull a few quotes out of it will lose the effect.
