Why do today’s kids have such big mental health problems?
Over the past year I've gotten interested in the steady decline of children's mental health. I haven't looked into it in any depth, though, so I was interested in a survey of the topic by Judith Warner in the Washington Post Magazine yesterday. First off, she takes on the possibility that the crisis is an ...continue reading "Why do today’s kids have such big mental health problems?"

EHS Teachers Gibson and Dougherty Provide Different Side Of American History
EDWARDSVILLE - Edwardsville High School history teachers Jill Gibson and Dave Dougherty are giving students the opportunity to learn a different side of American history. The pair designed a class called Black Experience that focuses on people and events in history that are not often talked about. “As a history teacher, we talk so much about the same people and the same things,” said Dougherty. “Every year, history gets longer, and we don’t have enough time to dedicate to other groups of people who don’t get talked about a lot. History tends to focus on the same people over and over. And when it comes to black history, it's typically along the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King, Harriett Tubman, and Rosa Parks. But there are so many other people.” Both Gibson and Dougherty were involved with the creation of the class. Gibson is in her 18 th year at EHS, while Dougherty is in his seventh year. “With the racial reconning that our country has gone

The 'Hot Hand' Is A Real Basketball Phenomenon - But Only Some Players Have The Ability To Go On These Basket-Making Streaks
The Conversation - March Madness is here, and basketball fans are making predictions: Who will be the Cinderella story of the college tournament ? Which teams will make a run to the Final Four? And of course, which player is going to get “hot” and carry their team to a championship? To say a player is “hot” or has “hot hands” means the player is on a streak of making many consecutive shots. A question that has dogged researchers, coaches and fans for years is whether players on these streaks can defy random chance, or if hot hands are just an illusion and fit within statistical norms. We are two researchers who study information sciences and operations and decision technologies . In our recent study , we examined whether players can indeed get hot in actual live-game situations. Our analysis showed that some players do get consistently “hot” during games and make more shots than expected following two shots made consecutively. However
