Here's a great site about glossaries and dictionaries. Basic Glossaries

We always try to keep a good selection of dictionaries and glossaries within easy access, wherever the kids not only study, but READ. Because knowing the meanings of words is essential!

"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." - T.S. White

"If you're looking at test scores on standardized tests, the higher the test score, the worse the teaching because it means that they have narrowed their focus." -- Janice Auld, president of the North Sacramento Education Association, in the June 13 issue of the Sacramento News & Review.

"I've read the Constitution many times. No matter how I read it-forward, backward, upside down or with my Captain Liberty Secret Decoder Ring-I can't find anything in it that empowers the federal government to be involved in education. And since the federal government got involved in education, our children have slipped from first to 29th place in terms of literacy, numeracy and other measurements of educational excellence. The No Child Left Behind Act is just another extension of the policies that have destroyed American education. As president, I propose to get the federal government out of education, and I hope that the states will substantially privatize it as well. That's the only way to get back to our position of preeminence in learning." -Michael Badnarik
