If you’re a student living in Missouri, you’d better not be Facebook friends with any of your teachers – because that will soon be against the law.

According to Missouri Senate Bill 54 that goes into effect on August 28, any social networking — not just Facebook — is prohibited between teachers and students. It’s all part of an effort to “more clearly define teacher-student boundaries.” However, KSPR reports that It’s only direct social media contact that’s prohibited; teachers are allowed to create Facebook Pages where all students have direct access to the teacher in a more public setting.

When I figure out where America is, I’m going to point and laugh at those suckers!

The National Assessment of Education Progress announced that only about a quarter of American schoolchildren scored “proficient” or above on a 2010 geography test.

You can take the sample 4th grade, 8th grade, and 12th grade tests here, to see if you would pass.

This is a three-year-old story but it makes me laugh.

I wish I’d had something like this when the twins were first diagnosed. Things are so much more accessible to parents now!
