Tuesday Open Thread
Addressing a pet peeve of mine - the use of the word "awesome." Remember when it meant something that filled you with awe? Alas, no more. This useful article from Ragan gives replacements.
The next mayor of Chicago (in 25 years) is a little 9-year old named Asean Johnson who rallied a crowd in Chicago against school closings. He takes on Rahm Emanuel and quotes MLK, Jr. A little ball of thunder.
What's on your mind?

"Hamilton International Middle School's Senior Jazz Band, under the direction of Dan Rowe, gave an award-winning performance at the 2013 Bellevue High School Jazz Festival, held May 10-11. Hamilton took first place in the middle school division, beating out 16 other middle school jazz bands. In addition, Hamilton was named the Festival's Sweepstakes Winner - the outstanding band at the entire festival, which included 32 high school bands."
What I love is that ALL of our high schools are getting stronger, both in rigor and in music. It's great to see.

That must create a lot of tension in the school and cannot be healthy for staff or students.
-measure twice
It's not the meaning -either literal or hyperbolic - that bothers me, it's the sheer volume.

Don't know where "compani" came from. I'm not even on an iPhone, so I can't blame autocorrect....
