The worst part about loving musicals is there’s so few people out there who you can talk about them with and, even worse, the ones who do want to talk about them are all theater kids

We are training kids to have a zero-percent tolerance for boredom. But deep thought is often boring at the start. By 'gamifying' the classroom, we are effectively lobotomizing the capacity for deep work.

Truly, I feel like the old poems were written by a different person. I still like them, though.

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you a poem isn’t a poem just because it doesn’t rhyme or follow a fixed form. A poem is a distilled feeling, a condensed moment in time—it's language at its very best, like a punch to the gut that leaves you winded, dazed, longing for another.

I interviewed a teacher who recently left the profession: “I was tired of hearing ‘you are the union’ every time I questioned their priorities. If teachers really had a voice, maybe fewer of us would be walking away.” THOUGHTS?

Leaders, where's your broom? Coach John Wooden was possibly the greatest basketball coach of all time, but during the week, he could be found sweeping the gym before practice. Never be too important to serve.

The issue with people “letting AI do the reading for them” is that a society that does not read is a society that can’t think critically. It can be easily manipulated by authoritarians. When we don’t read we are less informed, more dependent on tech tools, and more compliant.

We need a literary culture of outstanding amateurs--"hobby" writers who, nonetheless, work at the top of the craft. Not everyone should make a living at it. It's unhealthy to try. Write with the spirit of a cottage gardener or a weekend woodcarver--top skill, with leisure & love.

Maybe Dickens isn’t overwrought and overly sentimental. Maybe we are underwrought and underly sentimental.

the cult of maximum efficiency is one of the worst things to happen to society. I can’t defend studying Latin or reading for pleasure or spending an hour at the park with my niece in a way that will satisfy shareholders. but they’re worth doing because they’re beautiful and good.

I'm not going to dunk on the "I've never heard of The Odyssey" kid but I will say, once again, that the humanities are in trouble and any conversations about removing the classics from curriculums are dangerous.

Reflecting on my several years as a teacher, a recurring theme stands out: American schools often take on way too much. Schools shouldn’t be the all-in-one solution for many of America’s ills. And when you take on too much, failure is inevitable.
