Why Self-Discipline Is Overrated: The (Troubling) Theory and Practice of Control from Within
To inquire into what underlies the idea of self-discipline is to uncover serious misconceptions about motivation and personality, controversial assumptions about human nature, and disturbing implications regarding how things are arranged in a classroom or a society.

Katney's Kaboodle
Katney's Kaboodle is a general blog--what the word caboodle conveys: a general collection of blog stuff. I use it to share my interests, travels, and activities, and through it I have met wonderful folks from around the world. One of my interests, more and more since I retired from teaching, has been photography, so you will see a lot of images here, and good ones, if I do say so myself. T-Netters will know me as Kathy/WA.

Yakima Valley Daily Photo
Yakima Valley Daily Photo is one photo a day sharing my local area. It has helped me to remain active in getting out to see what is here and what is happening. Yakima Valley Daily Photo is a member blog of the City Daily Photo group. T-Netters will know me as Kathy/WA.

Ruby Stamper
My blog focuses mainly on papercrafting and rubberstamping. I have been involved in this hobby for nearly 14 years and have had several of my creations published on art magazines. I have been a part of several stamping clubs for a decade. Additionally, I am on a design team for Cricut designing as one of their consultants. I am a member of the Gingerwood board. I also do papercrafting with my students. Sometimes I post ideas on my blog that teachers could use in their classrooms. My name is Donna and I post on http://teachers.net as teacher or anonymous.

Searching for Intelligent Life
Searching for Intelligent Life often profiles persons and subjects that are of interest to me, and may well be interesting to a variety of other folks as well.

Teachers, even those not in classrooms, just keep on teaching and learning.

Peaceful Living
