@aksocolofsky I feel all of this. I have wanted to add composition to my music classes but I keep thinking I need to give them a massive theory background first. I have a masters in music and I feel like I don’t understand enough theory to compose- it’s a hang up I need to get over.

@stone_prof I’m becoming more and more convinced we need to rewrite the rule book. I think we are trying to do old things with kids who have new needs.

When kids cheat on assignments it is because they have been taught that grades outweigh the importance of knowing things. We need to fix this.

You never learn anything being perfect. Mistakes are a large part of the learning process. How we choose to react when faced with adversity says a great deal about our integrity.

A2: In my music classes, I have been wanting to decentralize European composers/music. To that end I want to incorporate music of indigenous people. I want to use par and also current music of indigenous people to show my students they are still here. #utedchat

A1: I am on land taken from the Goshute people. I think this is important to recognize Indigenous people are still here and still matter. As teachers, we have a moral obligation to help make right past injustices so they stop happening. #utedchat

My 17yr old daughter just said “if one person dies from a prop gun in a movie set, everyone talks about its safety relentlessly but when kids die from mass shootings in schools, it’s not a big deal. It’s unbelievable💔” - how about no one should die from gun violence?
