intros do the work free on kindle
and if you don't have a kindle no worries - free kindle for pc - is what i use
free kindle for mac - well you know


our job is not to control our idea - it's to figure out what our idea is and then bring it to being.

my check list from reading:
  • get a recorder
  • read (listen to) 3 books without taking notes - ouch
  • remember that research can be the resistance as can rationale
  • get do the work/poke the box on audio for kids
for the 12th - killer opening scene, 2 major set pieces in the middle, a killer climax, a concise statement of the theme  [1) stats for money time not spent on classroom management/tests and training/personal goes for both, along with stats of number currently falling through cracks - esp on a longevity scale 2) parents/students unleashed in their thinking about options, parent/students creating an egypt a mad cow protest a bloodless revolution 3) your district coming full fledge, the marriage of art and science in practicality not just theory, walking your streets 4) choice is the ultimate empowerment, we are all connected

why does this purely instinctive, intuitive method work? because our idea ... is smarter than we are.


there will be more..
