Every blogger should have a code of conduct. Four laws of the land from Alaska’s gold rush era are the bedrock principles of my blogger’s manifesto.
- Self preservation: Work, play, eat, sleep, study, love.
- Common sense: Passion is beautiful. Restraint is commendable.
- Fair play: How would you like it?
- Good manners: Apologize when shit happens. Link back to your sources.
-with gratitude to James Herndon.

Doug, these are not only quality standards for blogging, but also for life in general. Well-done!:)
This is perhaps more relevant to the previous post, but I wonder if part of the divide between the two “camps” is that one camp sees education as a business or banking operation (you put a kid in one end, add English, Maths, algebra, PE, geography, etc. and you get the accumulated result at the other end. Whereas the other camp see the human being, especially the fact that children are human beings with souls. What made me think this was this post by Steve Olson. on how the public school system crushes souls.
