JC brilliant in playwriting class, using each student question as a plot point in the Great Story. I understand his writing far better now, and look on as a conviction what I had thought to be a deficit.

Discouraging department meeting. The Frost line comes to mind, “what to make of a diminished thing.” I try to tamp down my–is it glee?–at not being present for the coming darkness. The Administration sets this disaster up, and then wrings its hands that nothing can be done.  How trusting I used to be that the Administration had Education’s best interest in mind. Perhaps at one time it had.
