When “Telling” is Not “Tattling”

About a year ago during recess, I was standing beside our first-grade teacher, Mrs. Knudsen, when a student ran up to her.

Student: Good Parent: What did you learn? Student: Math Parent: You do anything exciting? Student: No. Three questions, three words given in total for an answer.…

On a Rainy Day in November

I spent the month of October reading the Complete Poems of Robert Frost (Holt, Rinehart and Winston). It is tempting for a reader to afford someone like Robert Frost (1874-1963) the kind of deferential lens that, when applied to other writers, forces us to appreciate Proust. Once writers become Laureates we feel compelled to laud them. However,…

Song of My Shelf: The Why and The What
