What if the Secret to Success Is Failure?

Photo Dominic Randolph can seem a little out of place at Riverdale Country School — which is odd, because he’s the headmaster. Riverdale is one of New York City’s most prestigious private schools, with a 104-year-old campus that looks down grandly on Van Cortlandt Park from the top of a steep hill in the richest part of the Bronx. On the discussion boards of UrbanBaby.com, worked-up moms from the Upper East Side argue over whether Riverdale sends enough seniors to Harvard, Yale and Princeton to be considered truly “TT” (top-tier, in UrbanBabyese), or whether it is more accurately labeled “2T” (second-tier), but it is, certainly, part of the city’s private-school elite, a place members of the establishment send their kids to learn to be members of the establishment.

Create-a-Story By Craig Gill Age Range: 7 to 11 This resource can be used to help children who may lack ideas during creative writing lessons. It consists of four charts, which contain 81 characters, 81 places, 81 situations and 81 objects. WARNING - some of them are a little gruesome! The downloadable resources can be found here This should be enough for even the most unimaginative child to create at least one or two stories! How to use the charts. 1) Write down any two figure number (example: 58) 2) Using the first chart (Characters), find the square which is 5 across and 8 down, and write down the word/phrase in this square (example: the prince of the Gypsies). 3) Choose two figure numbers for the other three charts, and find the appropriate squares (example: "an attic in an old house", "a death trap", and "a tape recording"). 4) Weave a story around those four ingredients. Variations: 1) Write down two numbers and use these forwards and backwards, e.g. 25 and 52, 81 and 18.

Vous arrive-t-il de consulter vos messages compulsivement toutes les cinq minutes, comme si votre vie en dépendait ? Cherchez-vous parfois votre mobile avec plus de fébrilité que vos clés ? En un mot, seriez-vous accro à internet ? Cet outil inventé pour nous aider à mieux communiquer ferait-il de nous des esclaves ?
