yesterday, we were in the fifth grade. today, we attended grad school.
we're not that s-m-r-t, i mean s-m-a-r-t, but we do move around a lot.
on monday, we sat in on okayplayer cincyeducator's social studies lesson tying together the work of dr. king, malcolm and cesar chavez at creek view elementary. today, we walked the hallowed halls of clark atlanta university with okayplayer mareva to learn about how music informs culture and to discuss why common deserves to continue making music while nas may not.
if we learned anything, it's that the educational process involves a lot of loud talking. kinda like what happens when people post on message boards.
seriously though, if you haven't been in a classroom recently, you really ought to sit in somewhere. you'll know a great teacher by the way s/he is able to sneak in some instruction amidst all of the classroom management s/he must do. not an easy task at all. our hats are off to both cincyeducator and dr. daniel black. they provided great lessons for us even though we failed to bring an apple for either of them.
still not sure about where we'll be this weekend: north carolina or illinois? if only we could take our cues from march madness, the decision would already be made. big up to dee brown, though.
gotta make some phone calls so we can make some plans.
