http://www.peachpundit.com/2014/02/13/equivalent-expressions-and-the-common-core-standards
Fresh Political Pickins From The Peach State. February 13, 2014. Equivalent Expressions and the Common Core Standards. When I was in school, I learned about the transitive property of equality.

Of course, this principle can be misused: If Georgia defeats LSU in football and LSU defeats Auburn, then Georgia defeats Auburn. That, unfortunately, didn’t happen. This is only one example of how ...

Late on the evening of February 13th 2007 I got a little wild hair to create a name Icarus and make a somewhat smart assed comment on a blog I had been reading for months. Almost 9 years later and after switching to my real name I find that I’ve been Editor In Chief for over five years. Until today. When it’s time to move on, it’s time to move on. And it is that time.
