Watch The Hauntingly Beautiful Cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘The Sound Of Silence’ By Disturbed

The original of this song is one of my favorites. I know Christina Smith Rodek has a special meaning for the song as well. In order for a cover to be done that I could accept, it would have to be well done and also distinct enough from the original to resonate with me in its own unique way. This version, accompanied by the video, gets that job done perfectly. Watch all the way through!

Donald Trump’s surge is all about less-educated Americans

1. The American public is confusing politics for entertainment. "Reality" TV, I knew you would be our country's undoing. 2. Pay teachers more, fund education better, and fix the educational inequity in this country, and we can begin to remedy this problem.

Why Understanding Student Trauma is More Important Than Teaching ‘Grit’

"If a hypothetical classroom of 30 children were based on current demographics in the United States, this is how the students in that classroom would live: Seven would live in poverty, 11 would be non-white, six wouldn’t speak English as a first language, six wouldn’t be reared by their biological parents, one would be homeless, and six would be victims of abuse." 1. My current colleagues and I don't have to deal with most of this. 2. WAY MORE people, especially kids, are dealing with trauma than most people realize. Even more reason for us to personalize learning and offer young people a safe place to learn, grow, and BE when they come to school. 3. Grit doesn't sound very nice. We don't need more grit. Resilience, maybe. But also, how about kindness, acceptance, and forgiveness? (Toward others and toward self.) Let's teach and model more of that.
