Six years ago, we started Cymbal Press to preserve the wisdom of great jazz artists and journalists. Today, we earned our 2nd Book of the Year Award from The Jazz Journalists Association. [link in comments]

I fear we have entered "edtech winter" as leaders are mute on tech bans, conference themes are about balance, policy supplants action, and tech directors increasingly view their roles as one concerned with risk aversion and preservation of the status quo. 36 years ago, Papert urged a different path.

Every media outlet and social media feed blames screens for every societal ill, real or imagined. Go ahead, get the screens out of schools just like you did with books, musical instruments, and play. Just keep standardized testing and football!

I live in a mediocre suburb where kids are not allowed on school grounds after the bell rings, the already struggling mall bans kids under 18 on weekends, & where cops wait outside the movie theatre to arrest teens at 10:01 PM. Behold how inviting this “center of our community is. Sitting is a crime

As the school year inexplicably begins literally MID-SUMMER, I turn to the wisdom of Gomez Addams from 1964.

One of the great joys and honors of my life was knowing NEA Jazz Master Eddie Palmieri. No one grooved or laughed harder than this American musical legend. Rest well maestro. Much love. I miss you already.

I wrote dozens of articles on these very issues 25 years ago AND PUBLISHED THEM IN CONSERVATIVE PUBLICATIONS while "my friends" invested considerable energy into telling me "to be nice." 1/2

Wanted to share a bit of a laugh with Mr. Galloway, but apparently he doesn't understand the notion of social media and posts can't be replied to.

During one of the past few ill-fated school cell phone bans in NYC, a predatory business emerged overnight charging poor kids $3-$5/day to hold their phone outside of their public school.

This is precisely why no educator should be complicit in the dishonest standardized testing game. It will always be used against you.
