Some school administrators are requiring teachers to use AI.

Some teachers are having mandatory AI training and getting reprimanded if we express concerns or ask the “wrong” questions.

And in a middle school band piece something that you’re going to have to rehearse over and over always happens at bar 69

As a middle and high school band director this makes me so happy. Have fun!

My local Ace is run almost entirely by women and I love it there.

Pay us all more because it’s an important job that requires lots of education, training, and experience. Don’t pay a select few more because you think they’ll work harder if they’re paid more than their colleagues.

I have never seen someone pushing for merit pay define “merit” well.

I thought that was an Onion headline. Do you think someone’s just messing with that reporter?

I think it was that scene from Elf that confused me.

Oboists don’t need help to feel terrible. We have reed making to do that for us. Please be gentle with us, we’re not ok.

NPR’s story was disappointing, and their photos managed to make each protest look like a handful of people.

I had a similar experience in Pittsfield MA. Police were in the street slowing traffic and helping protesters cross.

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

I’m playing a gig this weekend with one of my former students who’s a professional flutist now, and one of my current students is the child soprano soloist. I’m so proud of them and it fills me with so much joy to get to do this with them.

These kids also have adults they live with who could instill values. Kids don’t live at school. Those adults are generally the people who give them phones and access to that kind of thing.
Teachers can’t fix everything.
