Carnival of Education: more fun than a barrel of monkeys

The Carnival of Education (a weekly roundup of the the most interesting thinking on education from the blog-o-sphere) is open for business at HUNblog. Among this week's highlights:

• Tips on staying mentally active over the long school holiday (from Learning, The Gravy Way);
• The advantages of not being an overachiever (from Anna's Whatnots);
• An interesting teacher-student dialogue on grade inflation (from HuffEnglish);
• A look at the 6-second teacher evaluation (from the Cognitive Daily);
• A husband/wife debate on school management and governance (from Going to the Mat).

It's always exciting to see the variety -- and quality -- of thought going on in the education world. If you've got a few minutes, take a look!
