What I Read Today
OK, gotta get the blogging mojo working again. Stayed home with Alex today because she was sick. During that time I read a bunch of stuff. I took another look at DC Entertainment’s new logo, and I still can’t figure out where the company’s going with that. When I was a kid I knew exactly what a DC comic looked like. Now when you type DC logo into Google you get a clothes company.
I read about the overnight line to register kids for kindergarten at Penn Alexander, and I wondered what would happen if the city and state worked to give every school the resources that Penn Alexander has.
The city and state might look more like Finland, where the priority is to give students equal access to education – all schools are publicly funded. I read about that in The Atlantic, and it was a fascinating look at a very different vision of education.
I was on The Atlantic site in part because I was reading about Red Tails, the new movie produced by George Lucas about the Tuskegee Airmen. Definitely going to need to see that film.
And I read a couple of other things that I am going to work on turning into blog posts the rest of this week, so stay tuned. 🙂
