While babysitting Monday night I read an article in the New Yorker about a quirky 8th grader whose fashion blog (started at age 11) is now so popular that she has her own international set of paparazzi. I looked at the blog ( http://www.thestylerookie.com/ ) and I think it’s entertaining – in one moment she’ll be writing something incredibly mature and in the next she’s a complete eighth grader. It might be interesting for some of you who are aiming for that middle school age.
More educationally, when I was trying to find an online version of the Tavi article, I found an editorial about how the recent media (“Waiting for Superman” – again – and a couple other books) are over reacting and the journalist, Nicholas Lemann, thinks our system, if not perfect, is doing quite well.
