Expectations count. "Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being." ~Goethe

The Commissioner posted this on December 11, 2009. I haven't read much Goethe. I didn't realize our classroom management philosophies were so similar.

The size of Rhode Island

"And this wasn't even Yellowstone's most violent moment. An eruption
2.1 million years ago was more than twice as strong, leaving a hole in the ground the size of Rhode Island."

These sentences are taken from an article entitled "When Yellowstone Explodes" (pg. 56-69, National Geographic, August 2009), by Joel Achenbach. Over the years, I've seen this reference, "the size of Rhode Island," hundreds of times in print and I have heard it probably just as many. I'd like to use this blog space as an ongoing record, starting now, of these references, and I invite you to participate. Please try to place the reference in as accurate a context as possible, citing the source if you can.

This information will be used for a future class project.
