PS22 Chorus sings Lisztomania and busts open your heart

We all need chorus practice. Every day. It is natural to move and you do it before the world around you tells you to stop.

Social change? Forget Law. How Do I Look?

“This is the position in which social conservatives find themselves: they don’t want to think of themselves (or have others think of them) as bigots, but the only arguments they can offer against marriage equality sound a lot like simple prejudice. They’ve changed a lot on the issue of gay rights — they’re more accepting, understanding, and generous than they once were — but they haven’t yet crossed the marriage line. “

It’s Not Me It’s You, Paul Waldman on The American Prospect

This was written about the Perry v Schwarzenegger case. But it illustrates how social shifts and ensuing shifts in self-conception make the real change. More than the law does. After How Do I Look comes How Do I Feel?

Law schools retroactively inflate grades to try to prove their effectiveness

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/22/business/22law.html?pagewanted=1&ref=genera…

If you paid a whole bunch of money to be employable, wouldn’t you start expecting employment? Law schools are trying to do what they can to keep up the promise of the thing they sell most often: perceived salary security.

the paradox of Americans

“It’s deceiving, the hospitality American come across with …there are so many lines drawn in that country. And they think their way is the best way…”My way or the highway….”the whole patting themselves on the back.”

– a Canadian pal

When are Americans genuinely friendliest?

Being Witnessed : Taylor Mali on What Teachers Make

After I stopped wondering
Is this Peter Mali’s brother?
This made me cry
because I realized
that the most beautiful thing about a truly good teacher
is that they see you. 
And they may be the only who who does. 
And you cannot see yourself 
Your real need
Your real beauty
Your real challenge
Your real worth
Until someone does.
