Coffee and Graph Paper: April 2009
http://coffeeandgraphpaper.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Coffee and Graph Paper. Thursday, April 16, 2009. I like Sam Shah’s approach to teaching function inversion. It’s pretty much what I had intended to do this year, but somehow forgot about at some point. Hopefully writing these notes here will increase the odds that I get it right next time around.

View my complete profile. Tuesday, May 16, 2006. Poetry from today's prep period. The bubble that forms in my throat. As I take a deep breath and blink back. Tears of indescribable frustration. The tightening sensation around my heart. As I watch those who won’t let me. Help them help themselves. The tensing of every muscle in my jaw. As I stand before someone. Who thinks what I have to say is a waste. The boiling emotion that dwells deep down. As I run through plans A-Z,. Watching each fall short. Hey,y...

Place of learning: January 2006
http://placeoflearning.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2006. A Column from The Daily Cal. On Monday, we spoke briefly about a passage in Tobias Wolff's "In the Garden of the North American Martyrs" that described the reverence a student feels for a machine he views as the "soul of the college."
