From my corner of Kent, it was impossible to explore the rest of Britain without negotiating the nightmarish M2 or M 20 and M25. I felt trapped - I wanted to visit historic cities in Europe and travel through foreign landscapes, but each time I had to rely on planes or ferries to get me to the continent. I did something which I do not recommend...

Kathy Cox appeared on the Fox TV show, "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?" and failed to prove that she is smarter than a fifth grader, despite being the first contestant to take home the one million dollar top prize.

Kathy Cox is the Superintendent of Schools for the State of Georgia. When word got out she would be on the show, she was publicly criticized; how foolish...

When you go into another classroom, it is their domain! There are special rules that a visiting teacher must follow. Never step on the authority of the classroom teacher. It is...
