• Schoolchildren are more likely to disrupt lessons if they have a male teacher, a survey suggests.
  Although the survey found a general improvement in pupil behaviour since 2001, 77% of males said they had a lesson disrupted at least once a week., versus 66% of women. 69% of men and 57% of women said they had been sworn at by pupils.

• Bargain Hunting for Books, and Feeling Sheepish About It
  How second hand books are killing booksellers. As someone who grew up hunting through boot fairs for tatty old Heinlein novels, I'm not going to be crying too much. Times change, etc., etc.

• Participation culture, creativity, and social change
  Fascinating video lecture on the changing culture and lifestyle that comes when people stop being an audience and start creating things themselves.

I keep meaning to post this and forgetting: I really enjoy your link posts!

Generally I don't tend to find this kind of post interesting but with yours I find myself following at least one link on average and quite often two or three.

I'm glad mine are more interesting than most. I get bored easily, which probably shows in the range of things that show up :->
