I'm writing another article for on online magazine for teachers, iteachnet. I wrote one a month ago, and a few people seem to like it, probably because I gossip about the modern student:

Speaking of history books, thanks for lending me "Indian Summer".
Had a flick through it today and like you said, it looks to be an interesting read.
Thanks again!
