On 27 March 1964, a M9.2 earthquake hit Alaska & sent tsunami waves out into the Pacific. These photos show a tide gauge record of the event from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. The initial wave hits & then seiches reverberate in the bay for several days. Absolutely incredible. 🌊

Why does St. Helena Unified spend nearly 3 times as much as Napa school district per student?
Calistoga Joint Unified and St. Helena Unified are basic aid or community funded school districts while Napa Valley Unified depends on a combination of state aid and local property taxes.

So, I've just started trying to learn about GenAI. I asked ChatGPT for an image of a librarian with a library card catalog and got the male version. Then I asked it to switch to a woman and got that version. Strange errors, but I ran out of my quota of changes for the day.

My father died without a penny in his pocket. But he had the richest inner life of anyone I ever met. Education gave him that.
We shouldn’t have to choose between anti-poverty policy and meaningful schooling. (And no, I don’t believe they are one and the same.)

I don’t want anybody to be poor. I’ve been poor. But we should remember that there is a cost to positioning schools solely as agents of economic mobility. We need to ask ourselves: When we force schools to try to solve the problem of poverty, what are we not allowing them to do?
