Those Crazy Friends
Waiting in the office for my two crazy friends to get down from Manhattan ("the island" as another friend likes to call it) so we can go out to dinner. Caught up copies and some basic finance (still more to do, but...) and I am ready to go eat. Did I mention these friends (from Peace Corps) are taking a cab? Do I even know these people?
If and when we finish dinner, I'm also in the process of packing for this weekend. Some stuff has actually been planned out (and one of my friends has been nicknamed the MASTER OF LOGISTICS). And more than 24 hours in advance! Very nice! Though one of my co-RAs from college says that "Packing is for chumps". He's probably right...
Saw a panel on "The Future of Education" last night (disclosure: my boss co-facilitated). Great content, great speakers - some disagreement among panelists but in a very productive manner. I think I've said it before, but I would watch Dave Levin (of KIPP speak on just about anything. Hilarious. Oh, I mean...They think technology will play a large role in education's future, but that you really can't beat the intelligence or close contact of a teacher. Good news for all, I think...
And how 'bout that Stronger Nation report?
