@Foofaraw13 @he_negash @MrDanielBuck My wife says that “no homework” would apply until upper elementary…at that age children start to be responsible for work such that, if they don’t finish, they might do so at home.

@levels_of Not sure, but probably 1987 when I was in grad school for cog psych. That was the year Howard Gardner's The Mind's New Science was published.

A school in Miami-Dade has banned (for elementary students) Amanda Gorman's poem, The Hill We Climb, which she read at the Inauguration. According to @MiamiHerald the complaint said it contains "indirect hate messages." Can the school's review committee not read? https://t.co/VTIpFJReuc

Highly recommend @JohnCleese's "So Anyway." You expect an insider's account of Python hijinks, but the book ends before Python starts and you get something better & much rarer in a celeb autobio--real wisdom and insight in a tale of people you've mostly never heard of.
