irrelevant

Edit: I removed the link. It used to be “Dry Your Eyes” by The Streets from the album A Grand Don’t Come for Free. I have no idea why I picked that song, or what it meant to me at the time. It’s super-emo, except not in a Panic at the Disco! kind of way: lyrically, not whin(il)y.

isn’t it funny that ‘irrelevant’ and ‘irreverent’ are so similar?

New Great Hearts Videos

Dear Friends,

As most of you know, I teach Studio Art out in the Phoenix desert.  The school I teach at is one of many charter schools in the network of schools called “Great Hearts Academies.”  This year is going really well at my school and there are some great things happening there and in our network of schools.  Next year there will be four more academies opening up (two regular 6-12 and two “Archway Classical Schools” which are K-5).

I have embedded three new videos that provide clear insight into the culture, curriculum, and purpose of the Great Hearts Academies.  The three videos are titled “An Educational Revolution,” “The Wisdom of the Ages,” and “The Great Hearted Student.”  Enjoy.

Duncan Smith (a graduate of St. Gregory’s Academy and brother to Philip and Andrew Smith and son of Gordon Smith) recently completed this film “Offering.”
