  • Survival Literacy 25 Jun 2019
    I’m not sure what I think students “need” at a minimum level of competency to be considered to be “done” with school – and my use of scare quotes here should give you a sense of the turmoil that I’ve been feeling around some very foundational beliefs I’ve long held about school itself, its fundamental purpose and role in students’ lives. I’ve been teaching i […]
  • Seeing and unseeing 15 Oct 2018
    Sometimes I’ll come across an idea or a metaphor in fiction writing that single-handedly restores my faith in literature to do what non-fiction can’t, to illuminate by stepping just outside of what is understood, re-frame radically within a fictional universe that shakes things so hard that my world shifts, too. That was the impact I had reading China Mievil […]
  • What is wrong with math? 26 Mar 2018
    My school started using a blended curriculum model (which I won’t name here) recently, and I have a lot of thoughts about it, some pro- and some anti-, none of which would be totally appropriate for me to share here yet.

  • Return to Oz 24 Mar 2018
    My wife and son watched The Wizard of Oz together last weekend. He turns four in a few weeks. This was his second movie, but the first that he watched simply for pleasure, not because he was sick and needed a quiet activity for a few hours (that’s how he saw Moana). Since we don’t expose our sons to much screen media, my wife noticed that he reacted to the f […]
  • What if they knew what they needed, too? 25 Nov 2017
    I just finished A School of Our Own, a strange, frustrating, and provocative book about a “school within a school” founded by a precocious 16-year-old, the son of an education and development theorist.It’s strange because the co-author (the mother) cedes well over half of the book to the articulate but nonetheless unpolished journals and reflections of her s […]
