Just for Mom.... (or any other school teacher out there)
I thought of you when I read this today, A "must read" link, especially for you! To whet your appetite, here's an excerpt:
The Value of Control Groups in Causal Inference (and Breakfast Cereal)
Gary King
A few years ago, I taught the following lesson in my daughter's kindergarden class and my graduate methods class in the same week. It worked pretty well in both. Anyone who has a kid in kindergarten, some good graduate students, or both, might want to try this. It was especially fun for the instructor.
To start, I hold up some nails and ask "does everyone likes to eat nails?" The kindergarten kids scream, "Nooooooo." The graduate students say "No," trying to look cool. I say I'm going to convince them otherwise.
Hope ya enjoy it!

Did you know I was with the children in CO and their parents took the laptop? Oh, I'll catch up soon. Back on-line :-)
