Billy Boyd - "Hit Me Baby One More Time" (2.44 mb) - I'll leave it up for a week or so. Link here, but please don't hotlink. Thanks.

You get to hear all the fangirlies screaming. Yay. Thankfully, they did shut up for most of the song.

Crisis in the Classroom

I just needed to share this really disturbing topic in today's New York Post. Basically, our kids are dumb and have a pathetic grasp of English grammar.



"NYC school can be more safer by get more stronger office ... I was in a argument in my class in the 7 grade with one of my friends she wanted to fight me but don't care." - A Brooklyn seventh-grader's essay on school violence

That's just... really sad.

Related stories, also from today's Post:

+ Mayor Bloomberg agreed yesterday with exasperated high-school teachers who want to end social promotion and defended his strict new policy of holding back low-performing third-graders.

+ Dedicated Harlem dad Matt McCoy thinks kids should be held back if they don't make the grade.

+ Last year's summer school program was an exercise in social promotion: 77 percent of students were promoted even though most of them badly flunked their English and math exams, a new study from Schools Chancellor Joel Klein's office found.
