Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone in the US had a nice Thanksgiving. I spent mine at the Ambassador's, at an event for Fulbright scholars in NZ. It was a good time, and it was nice to have a slice of America right here in NZ.

Today's item continues the education theme. A recent piece of news from CNN reports that students here will be able to use "text-speak" on their national high school exams.

There goes the good writing I've learned to like in Kiwi students. Actually, I have heard a rumor that this is not actually going to happen. So the jury is still out.
