Lessons On Learning By Unequal Opportunities In Schools
In schools the phrase equal opportunity is misused as educators try to force uniform outcomes. The author argues that education should recognize individual differences, noting that “average” students dominate plans while high and low performers are underserved. The piece cites primary classrooms, age ranges, reading skills, and the difficulty of balancing ability variety with grade-level progression.
Mason and Dixon Sail Two Voyages and Transit of Venus
The 1761 voyage of Mason and Dixon included sea battles near Cape Town and Sumatra, aboard the Seahorse, with Leo of the Royal Society observing the Transit of Venus. They charted Cape Town longitude and conducted solar measurements while facing Royal Navy pressure and technical challenges. The piece ties their work to future observations and notes kinship to the boundary project later associated with their names.
