Chantal Sebire, a 52-year-old French schoolteacher, suffers from a rare disease which has left her disfigured with facial tumors, and which will eventually damage her brain and kill her; there is no cure, and no treatment. She could suffer horribly for years before dying, in the meantime becoming [...]

A court in California has ruled that parents cannot homeschool their children, unless they have a teaching degree. Strangely, this ruling would prevent even parents with a doctorate in another discipline from teaching their own children, unless they go back to college to get a teaching degree. Yet I once even taught public [...]

So imagine a detective asking a suspect about a killing, describing the crime scene to get the suspect to visualize the attack. The detective is careful [...]
