...brief statement issued Wednesday after the lawsuit was filed in Middlesex Superior Court, Harvard said administrators believe their “procedures are sound and proper and in full compliance with...
...addition to the proper neurological wiring, reading requires good instruction. In a study published in the current issue of Biological Psychiatry, Shaywitz and colleagues identified a group of poor readers who were not classically dyslexic, as their phoneme producers, word analyzers and automatic detectors were all active. But the three regions were linked more strongly to the brain's memory processors than to its language centers, as if the children had spent more time memorizing words than understanding them...
...love the freak show. Friday was a particularly good day for costumes, a number of which seemed more appropriate to an S&M convention.

Drivers of ALL ages should have to take at least a written test every other time their license needs to be renewed. Is it really reasonable to think that learning the rules at 16 makes you as competent a driver at 40, or even 30? Could you get the same score on your SATs as you did when...
