so - what matters most to us - as a person, a city, a country, a globe.. our choice.
decide yourself - on the blue car, in detox, whatever
be you. - convo with self
then let's decide in a city - come together (we can learn to listen to each other again - with or without tech)
be us. - convo with others
the law was made for the needs of the people.. it wasn't made for people to succumb to its requirements.
things change. what matters changes.
so let's change the laws.. free contract...
let's make sure that our days matter and we're not just going through the motions laws today apparently seem to be mandating.
but let's listen to bmif (kaplan) and let the conversation be a gb shaw conversation. let's not lace it with what most are mindlessly miming what success is (ie: college/career readiness, keeping up with other countries math test scores, math topics at all)
ravitch - 11:20 - freedom and the encouragement of creativity
and 21:23 - let's de -mystify standardized testing...
and 48:33 - we have to keep listening - maybe we're wrong
about 50 - she's saying that the outrage will make a diff
this is about a year ago..
perhaps less about outrage.. more about just doing.. finding/doing a different way - rather than being upset with what we have.
a quiet revolution: focus on the process of learning. prepping for uncertainty. model and facilitate the ability to know what to do when you don't know what to do. that frees up tons of time/money/people - and so we can now call that public ed. facilitate curiosity. choice empowers. empowerment sustains and scales across.

I can't get behind AFT's resolution on Common Core Standards. To me it contradicts their resolution on testing. lockerz.com/s/223095221

There are things worth believing in; there are things worth being passionate about; and so our action must not be a reaction but a creation.

"@paulocoelho: Facing the difficulties, we can choose either to be a poor victim or an great adventurer"
see how smart we are...
i'm feeling like JR - saying at 5:33 . ... don't tell me there aren't enough people in the world that want peace....
no?
let's co-create. what it takes is people - people wanting to turn pro - people finding the thing they can't not do - and doing that.
let's co-create a new standard - that it's about what matters most.
let's redefine public ed - to - facilitating curiosity. with tech today - we can do that. within cities..
