My friend Chris posted this to her Facebook profile last night. I saw it first thing this morning (at home, of course because YouTube is blocked at work) and am so thankful that I wasn’t drinking coffee at the time. This would be one of those “coffee up the nose” moments.

I have been thinking about how to address this because, as a Canadian, it doesn’t impact upon me directly. However, we can’t ignore the leadership that the United States takes in education and in a globally connected world, we need to to be aware of everything that’s happening in education.

Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year. It was a cool summer and we missed out on much of the hot, sweltering weather. I never thought that I’d miss it but I did. It’s also unique having two days of school before Labour Day, but here we are.

Last night, we’re relaxing after a hectic weekend and watching a little television. It’s a fight over the remote to watch the Bears/Packers football game and the Canadian Country Music Association’s awards show from Vancouver. So, we’re flipping back and forth, oblivious that there would be anything else of interest on the television.

The Grand Prix of Singapore should be such a unique event on the Formula 1 calendar. Each racing venue tries to make something different about their race to draw interest from observers. Monaco has its tunnel, Monza has its wide open speed, Spa has its unpredictable weather and Canada has its “Wall of Champions”.
