day too

Jeff Beck: performing this week . . . Live at Ronnie Scott's

I'm not going to go on a diatribe about just how phenomenal a guitar player Jeff Beck is, but if you want to hear it sometime, please ask.

Today we started our "Do Now . . . & Then" pages, which will be collected every few weeks and comprise the "participation" points for the class, and we read some quotations about education, heard some real insight from folks who have been through the home-school, private-school, and public-school worlds.

Good stuff all around.

Her name is Erica Goldson, and you can find the full text of the speech online and the video on youtube.

You should check it out.

As for tomorrow . . .

Juniors: a few questions about Frankenstein tomorrow, then prep for AP-style writing.

Sophomores: prep for timed CAHSEE-style writing.

Oh, and be cool.
