Laura, that's a nice stack of notes. Lots of yummy stuff in the post. I especially wanted to call out this statement:
"I’m interested in smart, original people, who have geeky obsessions in books, homemade pasta, music, or anything. I want to learn from nerds, not posers."
It struck me that taken out of context, this is a really important idea. The idea of clarifying one's interests is applicable in many other cases, including our shared concern about the well-being of children and youth with disabilities.
In special ed, I'm much more interested in what I can learn from smart, original, nerds than from people who ride their hobby horses at a gallop through the topic of the week.
