Thank you Sam! Couldn't agree with you more. What a spectacular murmuration.

I'll share it around. Be nice if there were some self-reflective questions for teachers, admin and parents to think about it all.

I recently learned about some AI that is up for a lot of discussion-- its a literary app that writes/creates for you! Schools are buzzing. I also saw an article in the New York Times a few months ago about a man who won an art prize for a painting made by an AI-Art app that took his direction and created a painting.

Pretty wild stuff that needs a lot of talking about now. ( actually after 35 years at least of talking about it we are still doing the same thing... inclulcation of the minds- unfree)

Wishing you well.

"improvised choreography" yes this is what is happening in the greatest Music ... hence music (with dance) must become front and center in regenerative conversation and dreaming about education because it is currently the closest manifestation or purest lived human example of the murmuration of starlings that we know of ... or, can you or anyone else think of another?
