Tuesday Open Thread
The Times editorial board - doubling down on their views on McCleary funding - wag their collective fingers at State Superintendent Chris Reykdal, telling him to "rein in local school levies." I'm not sure that's Reykdal's lane, to tell districts what their ask of their local communities should be.Here's their plan. First, tell local districts to wait and see how the new McCleary spending helps their districts. Second, tell the Governor to call a special session because whoops! that McCleary spending they think is good enough for now for districts sure isn't because somehow the issue of Sped got overlook. Third, then tell Reykdal to pull the reins on local districts' levy request amounts.
What I see is a belief that districts are either not spending the money they get properly and/or are not transparent enough with where the dollars go. Or, we pay teachers too much. Something like that.
Interesting stat - Girls who play video games are three times more likely to study STEM than non-gamers.
From the University of Washington's Daily, a story about a graduate of the University's Computer Science and Engineering department who is now an animator at Pixar.
At the age of 3, Lehtomaki was convinced to pursue a career in animation by a fateful viewing of Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty.” Despite her early awakening, Lehtomaki’s pursuit of her dream did not come without its uncertainties. She entered the UW intending to study computer science at the urging of her parents who got her thinking that CGI was the future of the field.
The UW alumna didn’t jump straight from being an animation student under Mones’ mentorship to her present position as an animator at Disney. After graduating, she enrolled in the online character animation program offered by Animation Mentor, and then joined the animation company Rhythm & Hues where she worked as a junior animator on “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” Only from there did she land a coveted spot in Disney’s talent development program, which led to her present position as an animator at Walt Disney Animation Studios.Great story from Seattle Channel about the All-City Marching Band.
The All-City Band is officially seeking members for our 2018 summer marching band. Established in 1951 the band has become a staple of Seattle’s summer celebrations entertaining millions of people at parades and community events throughout the Puget Sound region. A top notch and award winning group, All-City receives numerous performance requests each year and has traveled to Southern California, Hawaii, British Columbia, Washington D.C., and New York City winning hundreds of awards along the way. The band is the longest running continuous entrant in Seafair’s Torchlight Parade and is a highlight of many neighborhood parades as well. As a part of this group students will improve their musicianship, learn new music and make new friends. Regardless of experience, students will be taught everything they need to know by the instructional staff of college volunteers.What's on your mind?
There is no audition for the All-City Band. Students in the graduating classes of 2018-2022 are eligible to participate.
