A former student was shot and killed this weekend

She was a very difficult child, but she didn’t deserve this. She was but one of many shooting deaths in North Philly so far this calendar year.

What a scary, sad week for that community.

DJ Drama Visits Atlanta Middle School

So here’s a funny fact: the head of my grad program at Penn is DJ Drama’s mother. She was a 30+ year veteran of the School District of Philadelphia is still one of the coolest ladies ever. Looks like she raised her son right!

Frigidaire present the Sheet Look - coloured appliances, 1957

All my life, all I’ve ever wanted was a 1950s-style kitchen completely outfitted in pastel appliances. Real rap.

Notes about writers:

To be a writer means you talk about your novel, your story, as if it were something which always already existed somewhere in the universe, as if you were an archaeologist unearthing an artifact from another world, carefully dusting off the earth away from its ancient surface. Its characters are already real people. You did not create them.
To be a writer means to always be alive. You are simply a conduit for everything going on around you. The events of the day, the strangers you encounter in your daily travels—these filter through you and emerge on the other side refined into what another might call art.

adventuresinlearning:

it is preparing some of them for that. Many it is preparing for low wage, low skill jobs by disengaging them and teaching them to not think for themselves. Also by destroying public education, corps are helping to makes sure they have low wage workers to sell too…

it a bad cycle we need to end!

creative-education:

This is happening because of National Education Policies that ignore student original and creative thinking by focusing on standardized testing of a common curriculum for all students.

What are some concrete strategies for teaching original and creative thinking? How do you fairly evaluate a student for originality and creativity? I’m curious!
