> Jason Levine: Tolerance of idiocy. From Piper, Kansas comes a sad tale of a teacher who caught 28 of her biology students plagiarizing their semester projects and failed them, and then after parents complained, was told by her school's board to give them all partial credit and reduce the weight of the project grade. She resigned from her position, disgusted with the school's tolerance of cheating; at least a dozen other teachers have threatened to follow suit. CNN has another take on it here, and the Kansas City Star has more on the Teacher's Association reaction to the conflict, as well as an active online forum.

> Serious bummer. I just found out that Jake is not feeling well. The good news is that he's actually getting some rest. Please send him good vibes (and leave him alone so he can rest ;-)). Get well, Jake!   1:32:05 PM  Link    
> Someone once said, "Themes fuck with your site." They were right. ;-) This morning I tried the nifty new feature, which allows you to specify a Theme for a category. It worked great for that category. Now parts of that Theme are starting to appear on my regular pages! First it was the Navigator appearance, which I didn't really mind because I thought the result was an improvement. But now it's changed the permaLink image. What else has it changed that I haven't noticed yet? Can this be fixed? I know that I can fix my site, but can Radio apply Themes to categories without changing the appearance of other categories? Please?   4:37:23 AM  Link
