The first lessons in a decent statistics class involve long

The current drug em till they don't ask tough questions and go outside the

Guys,
I've been reading the statistics topic. How can some of you dismiss the great
benefits of methodologies like Six Sigma and all of the improvements it has
given American industry...right up there with ISO9000 and ITIL (tongue in

Anyway, I remember the basic line about statistics
Like I said, there are few who truely have it. I was one who didn't.
I loved the feeling of having the ability to multitask and have creative
thought ripped from my head... so much better to feel zoned out...

Bingo -- seems that boredom, excessive distraction (don't put a kid
with ADD next to the window) and waiting for all the rest of the kids
to catch up results in a diagnosis of ADHD.
I've read quite a bit of the stuff on amphetamines, and it's mostly
bunk science. As stated, the measures
The average cost to keep a kid in school for 6-7 hours a day varies,
but it is mostly 30-40k a year, about what it costs to house a
