it's good from here

I am planning to go to the KC show. Got some passes. woohoo. Venue is rad. Seen Wilco there twice. Outdoors, easy street parking since there isn't much else around the area. Good brew choices, restaurant has some good grub. Dig the Black Keys, never seen 'em, yet.

Great stuff. I can dig it.

Went to Royals game yesterday. They're a damn good team for 6 innings then they are abismal. We were able to heckle Johnny Damon and the 3rd baseman who left the game in the 7th. We like to think he had enough of us.

I believe they call that projection. With the range of emotions his writing evokes it is easy for a fan to get mixed up.

Jesus Christ Superstar show? Or is that Glenn?

For the note copiers, please, try notecards to reduce your time copying filler words. Use keywords and brief hints. Process it in your head instead of laborious factory work. Take 'em along with you and study in the 5 minutes here and there throughout the day. It'll work after some practice. You learned the copying notes method, you can learn other methods.

too friggin' funny 3 out of 4 ain't bad. Carolina blew this year.

overrated, leads to anxiety, not productive, see 'chicken with head cut off'

It appears you've succumbed to rote learning instead of internalizing the information in a way it can be applied. Yes, I'm aware traditional grad programs can be completed with kids in tow and working full time, however, it is much easier via the internet. Using Windows as a schematic for your brain. Hmmm. What if you are trying to communicate with a Mac brained person? Or, even, someone who does not use a computer? Ultimately we are responsible, the computer is simply a tool.

My beef with technology is its propensity to decrease the depth of thought. Adults have fallen prey to this as well. We have short bursts of thought. It seems we scurry day to day trying to warehouse tiny bits of knowledge instead of using the model of extensive thought into one track, e.g. reading a book. Our ability to create imagery in communication is dwindling. Our ability to create new thought is becoming extinct. We appear to be in a race to compare prior knowledge instead of striking out on our own. And the other beef. I've used online course tools and kids really do not like it. I t

I have quite a bit of interest in the subject. Your request for facts when we are faced with an overload of superficial knowledge blanketing our ability to create for ourselves has proven the point. Talk about generality..."i disagree with what a lot of people think". Geez.

Sweeping generalization is a dirty phrase for a macro level perspective, is it not? Yes, it is difficult to single out one societal component as the root. That second statement. Kinda makes it sound like thinking is difficult to do, arduous. Placing value judgements upon people's thoughts isn't productive either. Who is ever right? Looking back on your life you will see a large body of learning, whether your thoughts at the time are right or wrong doesn't change the concept that you've learned. Does the dogma of right or wrong prevent experiential learning? You bet it does.

College students are struggling with metacognitive thinking. I guess you could say many adults are losing this ability as well.

Too much survey of material, too little depth of understanding. Teach them how to learn, not what to learn.

Ravitch is a dope. One of the founders of No Child Left Behind acting like she was unaware of the impacts this philosophy would have....k. Trying to save face and sell a book.

They Dept. of Ed. mentioned they are gutting No Child Left Behind, as well as the stupid name of the campaign. Choice is bad? Hmmm. I'll have to listen to the broadcast. Choice should be the centerpiece of an empowering educational philosophy.

Oh geez, now 'underrated' is subjective 'round here. The Nick Cage weiner question....they must've edited it later, or someone's wishful thinking, cuz the copy I watched a month or so ago didn't show any sausage.
