US School

I teach in two large High Schools. In one the school library is packed all day long with students lined up in the computers. The other also with a large population is dead. I sat and watched only 10 books being checked out by the populace in one day. Both school systems are in CT. Amazing the impact of leadership.

Gun Control and Sandy Hook

The Sandy Hook massacre took place 30 minutes from my home and we are still dealing with it.

perhaps we are more deeply greaved by the NRA and radical right's obsession with violence and addiction to weapons.

PerLarson, a  friend posted this remarkable insight:

  Mark Shields noted on PBS later on Jan 18 that twice as many Americans have been killed with firearms since 1968 as have died in combat in all the wars fought by Americans: 1,260,703 vs…

Inauguration Choir Brooklyn Tabernacle

Brooklyn Tabernacle Chior is less that a mile from the United Nations. In a neighborhood of 158 languages a choir that does not use sheet music and has won 6 Grammies can somehow get every race and level of class in the world to sing together and like this. Something to think about

Why is business and schools still separate?

How come we are not educating youth to create jobs rather than turn them out to find ones that may not out there? Why have youth working part time in a trade by the age of 14 and 80 % by the time they are 18? How come the last two years of college the student is not working part time in their profession.

How come every town does not have an Adult Learning Center to educate people out of poverty and into business or agriculture? How come students with ICT skills are not interning in…
