Jokes:

Drill Sergeants

A drill sergeant had just chewed out one of his cadets, and as he was walking away, he turned to the cadet and said, "I guess when I die you'll come and dance on my grave." The cadet replied, "Not me, Sarge...no sir! I promised myself that when I got out of the Army I'd never stand in another line!"

During a recent password audit, it was found that a

young woman was using the following password:

"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"

When asked why she had such a long password, she said

she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters

long and include at least one capital.

From our Listeners:

Troy & Shawn, Thanks for all that you do! I've attached a 4 minute

comment on your current podcast. (Any chance on sharing what apps the University puts on those iPads/iPhones/iPod Touches?)

Rationale, Applications, Research structure, Paradigm,

Hey guys, interesting article about paying for performance in schools. If this catches on, then I will write my former middle school, asking for my "back pay" from when I was a student there.

PS What is a good book for advisory about study skills?

Carol Josel

1. Other-wise and School-wise could be a resource (http://www.schoolwisebooks.com/html/owsw.html)

2. The Parenting School-wise Tips book certainly could be used to teach kids study skills.

3. I'd sign up for the newsletter also. That and the cooking ideas at the end of the newsletter are rather tasty!

Haven't tried it, but: SOAR Curriculum.

7 Habits for Highly Effective Teens, Sean Covey

Have tried it. You can also get it in audio format and use with the kids. Make sure you have money committed to the program over time.
