Rachel Simmons says proms teach girls to value money, conventional beauty, and to wait to be asked out.
Heather Perkinson's insight:
I know that prom is a treasured rite of passage in high school, but I do wonder what we, as educators, can do to mitigate some of the more damaging social messages proms perpetuate. Simmons discusses here what girls learn from the prom experience--I'd love to see a similar list of what boys learn (obviously, many of the same things, but some specific to their gender as well).

A look at the sci-fi publisher a year after it announced it would do away with DRM.
Heather Perkinson's insight:
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management--the technology embedded in most eBooks that keeps you from doing all those things you'd like to do with eBooks, like transfer them from one device to another, or lend them (that's something librarians would really like to be able to do) without restrictions or the need for additional software. These are the very same activities that publishers don't want you to be able to do with their eBooks because they fear it would cut into their profits. Delete the scoop?

Modern technology pushes us to multitask. But a neuroscientist says we should do just the opposite.
Heather Perkinson's insight:
The hot topic of the month is, apparently, multi-tasking. This doctor claims our brains are not truly capable of it. While I agree with the need to limit the number of activities in which we engage while doing important work like learning, I'm not sure that there isn't some place in our lives for multi-tasking. After all, how else could we raise children? Delete the scoop?

"A study that scanned young people’s brains when they were 10 years old and then again when they were 13 found, in the second round of scans, dramatically greater activity in a particular brain region when the now-teenagers responded to questions about how they view themselves. This region, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, seems to be of central importance when kids consider their identity and social status as they transition into adolescence.

A simple fact of business: You have to spend money to make money. And those who want to privatize education are willing to spend lots of money and effort to push their agenda. One of the main ways they are doing this is through ALEC.
Heather Perkinson's insight:
Mainers who have been paying attention should recognize ALEC's (American Legislative Exchange Council) signature on just about every education-related activity which has originated in Augusta during the current governor's term. Delete the scoop?

Yesterday, author Maureen Johnson had a great idea. She tweeted "I do wish I had a dime for every email I get that says, "Please put a non-girly cover on your book so I can read it." So she issued a challenge on Twitter: "take a well-known book, then imagine the author of that book was of the opposite gender, or was genderqueer, and imagine what that cover might look like."
