T^T I still wouldn’t be able to justify getting a mouse pad from him, I just can’t bring myself to do it.

From my eperience from several discussion groups and community websites, folks who defend No Child Left Behind that vehemently are usually of one political party. And that party usually has the attitude of “if you ain’t with us, yer aginst us”.

Stop that. At no point did I say that there’s nothing wrong NCLB. That was not the point and never will be the point, you say “vehemently defended” when that was never the case. Not then and not now. You do not know my politics, nor would anyone here be able to guess because I’m not going to discuss them… there’s just no point. Don’t make assumptions and toss me into groups for nothing.

And you did a bit more than “doubt”, you actually cast an accusation by claiming the column was fake and saying that the author was out to “get people riled up against No Child Left Behind”. I pointed out that the “tabloid” in question and the columnist were both British and could probably care less, if they’ve even heard heard of NCLB.

And to strongly doubt something is wrong? When I toss phrases like “I find it hard to believe” and “I think” then I cannot back any of my arguments with fact. And wouldn’t try to. Instead of claiming that I must think someone’s out to get me and an unnamed group, how about proving me wrong?

You could have, turns out it seems like Kyung Hee Kim and the College of William and Mary totally checks out. Still can’t find much outside news reports (all of which pointed towards newsweek here http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2010/07/10/the-creativity-crisis.html ) which is distressing because that is a very serious claim.

Do I still think the author of that DMO News article had a purpose outside of being informative? Yes. Do I still think he or she went about it the wrong way? Yes, strongly even

Why do you folks think everybody’s out to get you? :whistle: 🙂

Out to get me? All I did was doubt an internet tabloid… Out to get folks like me? Hell I don’t even post enough on this site for you to know that I’m anything more than a fbb appreciator. That puts you in the same group.

I doubt it.

Creativity is an abstract idea, I find it hard to believe that any individual or group of scientist can accurately gauge a massive group of people’s imagination and claim it’s gone down when no one in the past bothered to do the same.

Where’s the comparison? Where’s the facts and report citations? Where’s the record of the decades long study it would take to lay such a claim?

In the end, I think this article is just a fake column by someone who wants to get people riled up against No Child Left Behind. Terrible journalism on the author’s part resorting to lying to get anti-NCLB supporters instead of using actual, legitimate arguments.
