The USC Rossier School of Education blog recently published my review of Teaching for the Two-Sided Mind: A Guide to Right-Brain, Left-Brain Education by Linda Verlee Williams. This unusual book, published in 1983, remains a popular guide to classroom teaching…

About Eric F. Frazier

I am an independent writer, editor, book reviewer and co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones.

Frazeology is my take on matters large and small, in the news or off the radar. My approach is personal, but the goal is not to write about me. Rather, it is to offer subjective observations about experiences and concerns that we all share.

From time to time, I link to and comment on things others have said particularly well--or especially poorly. And sometimes I make up new words. We have more than enough already, but it's fun and I find playing around with language irresistible.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you enjoy reading.

Please don’t overlook little ol’ me, Vlad. I don’t have many followers, but I’ve been a critic of you going way back. I’d be honored to make your naughty list.

The Russian government now has the right to classify individual journalists, bloggers and even social media users as "foreign agents" with a new law signed by President Vladmir Putin.

Nice to see top-level people advocating this reform

Michael McFaul@McFaul

I'm with @ewarren on this democratic reform. The Electoral College (like horse-drawn carriages and sickles) served a purpose in its time, but it's hard to defend in the 21st century. Time for an update ! https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1201364350436593664
