•Be reflective ☺
TCOM 601 Should be a great class. With all students eager to share ideas - not just ideas, but great ideas, the synery in the room was almost measureable. The question posed about formal education squashing creativity of our kids was a trick question. As a broad generalization YES the system favors the medium student who can follow rules famously and maybe go a bit beyond -- BUT, there is the exception in formalized education who can recognize potential in students and nurture that spark. Creativity can and does happen in any environment, but it may be easier with encouragement, resources, and mentoring.
Rough start to the school year. Den's hospitalization hopefully will be a fast one, but the fact that he didn't fuss or fight about being admitted indicates the severity of the condition to me. We'll have to see happens. I really wasn't ready for this semester to begin, but I wanted it to be on MY terms not with additional complications of an already complicated life.
