Yay Mass! I have been very happy with our schools in Scituate, MA. though I do wish they had more programs for gifted students.
Massachusetts students significantly outperformed their peers on a prestigious international math and science exam, according to results released this morning.
In many cases, the state’s impressive showing on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study, which is conducted by Boston College, puts the state in the same elite league as several academically powerful Asian countries.
Massachusetts performed strongest on the fourth-grade science exam, coming in second worldwide just behind Singapore and ahead of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan. By contrast, the United States as a whole placed eleventh with a score that researchers characterized as significantly lower than Massachusetts.

Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., was right on the money when he predicted the current economic problems back in 2006. Too bad the bozos on Fox News did nothing but laugh and make fun of him.
Also note that Schiff was Ron Paul’s economic advisor during the 2008 election.

I was cleaning out some old boxes today and found two geek comics that I had saved from the 1980s. They’re a bit yellowed and torn (and full of holes from hanging on multiple cork boards over the years), but still funny after all these years.
