The Science Goddess hosts the Carnival this week and it is as exciting as it always is! She does a fabulous job - just look at the comments section. Here's a glimpse:

Joanne jumped in next. “That might at least be one way to take steps. I’m trying to get some advice on how to help a kid who wants to learn, but whose teachers seem to only grade for effort, rather than academics.”
