I'm an old fart who spent too much of my youth drinkin' root beer and readin' encyclopedias...for fun. My specialty is helping folks think about how to think through the problem. And I do work in the space business...a rocket engineer (rather than a rocket scientist).

  • Need help with NYSSMA List?

    My home state music list is PUBLIC but specifically references NYSSMA as an extended approved source. Before I submit a request to add a solo piece, I'd like to know how I can get a look at the NYSSMA list. My son's teacher isn't from New York and would prefer not to pay the $50+ to buy a list that's only needed once or twice a decade.

  • What is secondary education like OUTSIDE of the U.S.?

    I'd love to hear from students and teachers what high school (or its equivalent) is like in other countries. Information like:

    What do you study?

    Art, music, drama included? Other subjects?

    How many years to graduate?

    Graduation tests or class test or something else?

    Classes/Support for special education/learning challenged students?

    Free or pay? How much?

    Textbooks or computers or something else?

    Disciplinary approach and policies?

    School day and school year length - any vacations?

    What's in a usually in classroom?

    ...and anything else that would be interesting. I'd like to learn about the many ways young people learn world-wide.

    Thanks!
