The Burden of the Back
When we’re younger and unencumbered by social structures and what they deem acceptable, our curiosity is often met by some action that elicits further exploration. Imagine: you’re six years old, walking on the sidewalk, careful to not step on any of the cracks, because we all know what happens if you step on a crack. And your attention now directs itself to a weed growing in between the gap of the sidewalk. And mind you, this weed is accompanied by a particularly outstanding dandelion, so anything that you were doing before now becomes moot. When you bend down to take a closer look at your subject, you notice nature’s way of carefully placing the petals in a certain arrangement that you are now committed to detailing in your next art class project. As you’re now bending down on the pavement with your eyes fixed on this dandelion, your mind is elsewhere: your teacher is going to be so proud when she sees that you drew the most beautiful and realistic dandelion she has ever seen in her whole entire life. In dreamily thinking about your success, something breaks the fixation of your eyes as it crosses your visual path: an ant. It doesn’t seem to have much direction, and you wonder which place the ant lives. You scramble around looking for other ants. Where are its friends? Friends...friends...ant friends. You’re really racking your mind here, but you can’t seem to find any other ants. This would have been a much simpler task if you had an ant farm like your teacher. The the ant could just join other ants and make cool tunnels together. Now you’re thinking about how cool ants are and everything you learned about them in class that day.

Big and Bigger Changes
Winter in Idaho is a different kind of cold than I was used to, dry, white and windy. Settling into my uncle's house was anything but pleasant. My dad and I shared a room and my bed was kept under his during the day. He had a storage unit for his things and I only had a backpack, my 2 parakeets and my shiny new guitar .

A Complete Rethinking Of The Very Concept Of Education
Never before has American education been in as precarious a situation as it seems to be at present. For over ten years now we have seen many governors' summits, and a host of commissions, committees, panels, unions, boards and business executives trying to warn citizens that American schools have become dysfunctional and are in dire need of repairs. And for over ten years the results of student performance have worsened despite the billions being spent to stop the downward trend. Perhaps the time has come to stop and try to examine the problem rationally. It is not the first time that American education has reached a threshold at which only radical solutions seem to be called for. This time, however, reformers are calling for a systemic reform, a complete rethinking of the very concept of education. As politicians, educators, academicians, psychologists, sociologists, and CEOs entered the fray, the well-intentioned movement became murky and increasingly chaotic. It soon became clear that the reformers truly intended a clean sweep of what education had meant to Americans.
