Most of the items in the texts that I have reviewed are from older editions of
the tests; e.g., from the WISC III instead of the new edition WISC IV, and from
the MMPI-2. They are not often the same items that exist in the current
editions and given that they are in a text (which many of our students don't
read, let alone buy) it doesn't seem to be a severe problem.

The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the
most superficial declamation; as a feather and a guinea fall with equal
velocity in a vacuum.

Not thinking critically, I assumed that the "successful" prayers were proof
that God answers prayer while the failures were proof that there was something
wrong with me.

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and
our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and
the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
