Things to Come

In the next two entries I want to talk about these two things: one, teacher certification; two, freedom of speech.

One reason for speaking about the first is because certificates are not necessarily signs of, and the people who are certified are necessarily qualified to do, the activities, of which these certifications are supposedly promises.

One reason for speaking about the second is speech is not necessarily a sign of intelligence, which many are proving daily. A second reason is that editing, both of written and of spoken, speech is a greater sign of intelligence than the speech alone.
