For Love of Students: Yes, No, and Maybe . . .

So already, as many of you already know, I have moved my blog from Blogger to Substack. This way, "So Already" readers who want to receive emails notifying them that I have posted can do so. 

A number of "stimulI"--political, Jewish, and poetry-related--have me writing about education this week. Each of these stimuli got me thinking about students both as groups and as individuals.

"And They Lived Happily Ever After": Reflections on a Famous Final Sentence

So already, as many of you already know, I have moved my blog from Blogger to Substack. This way, those those who want to receive emails notifying them that I've posted can do so.  

Blame the post linked here on my recent visit to the Hallmark channel. Ever since watching the final scenes of "Crown for Christmas," I've been musing on the familiar sentence “And they lived happily ever after”* that often ends fairy tales and romances.

As Far (and Near) as the Eye Can Sze

So already, as many of you already know, I have moved my blog from Blogger to Substack so that those who want to receive emails letting them know I've posted can do so. 

 

Recently, I've been musing on time, age, and some recent experiences of writing poetry. The year 2025 has entered its second half, and time is marching  forward for us all. My most recent Substack blog post/newsletter also includes my thoughts about  Arthur Sze's poem  "Under a Supermoon" in the July issue of The Atlantic.
