When I find significant errors in student writing, I chalk it up to one of three reasons: they don’t care, they don’t know, or they didn’t see it. And I believe that the first and last are the most frequent causes of error. In other words, when push comes to shove, I’ve found that most students really do know how to write — that is, if we can help them learn to value and care about what they are writing and then help them manage the time they need to compose effectively. —Laurence Musgrove —The Real Reasons Students Can’t Write (Inside Higher Ed)

I *think* I got everything synched up (CVS says it's good on my machine), but I just haven't gotten around to actually running it and testing it to make sure it still actually works. Feel free to update and test it yourself if you want... :-)
I contacted rimuhosting about this quote problem. It's weird that it changed when we changed hosts - it really shouldn't. Maybe it's a configuration problem...
Since we switched to the new ISP, all curly quotes and dashes (that I paste from an online source) have changed to ? when I publish a new entry. I thought I had added something to make the conversion in the JSP code. Did you manage to work out the synching problem?
I'll leave the error there for now, as a reminder that I should copyedit more carefully.
This is really funny - the entry says "When I find significant errors in student writing, I chalk it up to one of three reasons: they don't care, they don?t know, or they didn't see it."
I think this entry has the last reason. :-)
