    Are We Getting Stupider? Or Just More Stupid?

    My kids (ages 12 and 14) are getting a public education here in the USA. I just asked them the questions posed to the Cal Tech students on the first video.

    Help Please! Upgrade to Windows 10?

    Is it in bad taste to point out the symbolism and themes in your own work?

    By 'back of the book', I mean it would be separate from the story. It would sit where a glossary normally goes. But now I'm leaning toward the link to a blog option instead.

    Is it in bad taste to point out the symbolism and themes in your own work?

    Is it in bad taste to point out the symbolism and themes in your own work?

My teacher was discussing how an owl in the daytime was viewed as a bad omen and how it symbolized the tragedy to come. I was thing WTF? An owl is an owl...
