Common Core: Good, Bad, Neither, or Both?  I finally ventured – tentatively – into the Common Core arena this past week in my News-Leader column.  To read these thoughts, see CommonCore.CommonGround.

From the Archives  As some of you know, we’ve been in Columbia, MO, for over a week, while dealing with my wife Pat’s medical issues (emergency surgery for laceration in esophagus).  Because of this, I haven’t had some of my usual Wild Card sources handy.  So, here are some Wild Cards from one year ago – Nov. ’14.  I like to do this occasionally anyway, and this is a good excuse.  ENJOY!!

Crazy Translations! – Final Installment  Flattened underwear??  If you’ve missed these crazy ‘translations’ of foreign signs, you need to take a look.  A new set today, along with all the others – good for some hearty laughs!  See English Broken Here.

Room Temperature Canadian Beef??  Remember these ‘stand-out’ analogies from actual high school English essays?  Here are a few more, along with those already shared.  Be prepared to laugh or cry, whichever seems appropriate.  See Student Analogies.

The Height of Snobbery?!   You won’t believe!  See this and more (including perspectives on the size of the Sahara and the cost of an olive)  in Fantastic Facts 6.
