    My two girls, 8 and 10, go to a charter school in Jersey city, and they are not being taught cursive. They do emphasize reading though, something not done when I was there age.

    Lost in the emotion of giving away a BIG ten home game next year

    Uconn, Cuse or Army are not going to make gains on us if they play at Yankee stadium.

    Yankee Stadium? Rutgers should never move a home game from Piscataway | Politi Bits

    Sorry, disagree. Let Ohio State play there.
