Thank you for singing the praises of wide attention. (I have become a very wide receiver). And also to resist the corporatized/packaged mode of communication that every word is pruned to a single focus, i.e., selling its point with efficiency and control. Out of loving noticing of a fuller scape of a situation, something that vibrates with a living truth can grow.
Susan, I have so much to say to you, which will come soon in an email. This is just a quick note to say a huge thank you. You cannot know what your responses mean to me. You lift me up!!!
This is very insightful, and I am up in arms with you against rubric assessment. If we have established where rubrics fail us, maybe I am missing where this is replaced. At the end of the day we are required to give grades to students - how are you navigating this?
Jen - “The logic of corporations is applied to everything, everywhere, and it’s no wonder we feel lonely, and our students feel lonely, and the whole world feels lonely.” This. So much, this.

Second, your insightful musings remind me of a favorite piece from my friend and luminous writer, Lisa, which you might enjoy: “A Narrow Job” https://lisaschamess.medium.com/in-april-1942-dorothea-lange-showed-up-on-the-doorstep-of-the-raphael-weill-school-with-her-camera-c25ad6e9a97e
p.s. what a delight to see some of your art work!
Sending love ❤️
