@christress I know I wasn't perfect,
I know my life was small,
I know that I pretended that I knew it all.

But when you tell my story,
And I hope somebody does,
Remember me as something bigger than I was

"Some conservatives have recognized the huge benefits of progressive classroom practices, but they only want them for their own children" - or for those who can afford them. (The masses get direct instruction & wksheets.) Thoughtful essay by an historian: https://t.co/QuFqDIzHh7

My high school choir director had us learn "Silent Night" in German, which we decided was ridiculous. Lots of teenaged eye rolling.

Fast forward ten years. I'm a pastor doing a Christmas Eve service at an assisted living facility. I make the rounds, saying hello to everyone. 1/

Word of the day is ‘ramfeezled’ (18th century): feeling worn out, used up, and particularly enfeebled.

Stop worrying if your vision is new. Let others make that decision—they usually do. You keep moving on.

Most ed. reforms are mostly just about making kids work harder: tougher standards! more rigor! raise the bar! Yet Dewey reminded us that the value of what students do “resides in its connection with a stimulation of greater *thoughtfulness*, not in the greater strain it imposes."
