Nidal Hasan was exactly the kind of man many people knew him to be. And that’s why they continually promoted him and sent him some place else. Because nobody, apparently, was willing to intervene despite many warning signs about his behavior. Those are the findings from the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. They found that the massacre allegedly carried out by Nidal Hasan could have have been prevented. Had just one person acted on the information many different people had, the tragedy that occurred at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009 may have been prevented. “The officers who kept Hasan in the military and moved him steadily along knew full well of his problematic behavior,” the report found. “As the officer who assigned Has...

The important question, of course, is whether sponsoring this race is worthwhile for federal taxpayers. The clear answer is no. Sure, in response to RttT states have been raising charter-school caps, allowing teachers to be evaluated using student performance, and instituting other changes, but they’ve done little of rea...

But here’s the kicker — the increased risk of depression isn’t from the diabetes itself. It is instead from the treatment of the diabetes! The researchers found that treated type 2 diabetes was associated with a 52 percent higher risk of developing elevated depressive symptoms. Individuals with untreated type 2 diabetes were not at increased risk. People with untreated diabetes don’t suffer from a higher risk of depression. So here’s a perfect example of where health professiona...

Or can they be useful tools for improving a class? tags: teaching, student evaluations A few days ago, evolgen lamented that his students weren't giving him useful information on their end-of-course evaluations. I'm not surprised. When I first started teaching, I was a given a copy of the standard-teacher-evaluation-form-that-everyone-used. Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...
