I'd be laughing harder but...

I'm too busy crying at the same time. Many folks have posted this- I'd like to credit them all. But I'm just gonna' post tha thing.
It has been a very looooooong week.

Sir Ken Robinson at RSA Animate!

Some interesting comments on paradigm shift, school structure, creativity, and divergent thinking.



Thanks to Joe Bower at Love of Learning for putting this up. I love the RSA Animate videos, I even show them to my classes when appropriate. Hadn't seen this one yet. I don't know what I think about Robinson's comments on ADHD, but the general theme is right on.

I really needed this...C.R.A.P.

I am feeling so depressed about 'school reform' that I've found it really hard to pay attention to this blog. Plus, I'm teaching a prep I haven't taught in a while (Creative Writing- its awesome), so I am as busy as I can stand (aren't we all). Then I ran into this. I laughed my ass off, and it really hits the nail on the head. Diane Ravitch tweeted it.
