"Children spend an insane amount of time in school yet it has little results." What do you mean by "little results" and what data supports it?

And parents are equally distracted from their job of parenting by those same devices. Want to help your child with their education? Support their teachers when/if your child is making poor decisions at school.

Yes to this! What makes a great teacher is the willingness to hold kids accountable for their behavior and their work. Sure, it helps to be a subject expert, but that won't matter if you can't manage your classroom. And parents pl

Yes to this! So many people turn a blind eye to the critical role parents play in supporting teachers holding kids accountable. And I get it, holding kids accountable is very, very challenging, but that's the gig people sign up for whe

When I was a kid, my neighbors had a doberman pinscher they named, "schatzie" ("sweetheart"). I remember them using the "sitz" and "platz" commands.

I'm working on becoming a better piano player and forcing myself to read sheet music. To your point, it's incredibly difficult. To the point that I'm 50/50 about whether I'll ever get good enough for it to matter. I

Obscure "learn it by ear" guitar story... Upon hearing Eruption for the first time, the story goes that Tony MacAlpine learned to play the finger tapping section by PICKING IT because he didn't know finger tapping was a thing

Here is a suggestion... First, figure out the bass line. That typically suggests the chord progression. If you know your chords, then, for simple songs, you have the rhythm figured out. For solos, it's more tricky. If you aren't f

I've been playing guitar for 30+ years. When I was a kid, I learned almost everything by ear - note by note by note... In hindsight, once I had learned a song, I had actually learned MUCH more than just that song. It is that "extr

Completely agree with this. I watch many commercials on television targeting elderly folks and I just cringe. They seem to be doing everything they can to separate the viewer from their money for a dubious product or service.

Good luck with this project. Very exciting! I used to teach high school computer science classes and we built web pages with this new thing called "CSS" (no more tables!) and games in Flash. Cutting edge work we did. Those were go

We do this in the summer when we visit the shores of Lake Michigan. The amount of washed up junk we find is shocking.

Lame to have to do all this pointless busy work just to "win" the SEO battle.

"so that they can extricate as much personal wealth and influence as possible" I've always thought this. If you're running something like OpenAI, it really doesn't matter to you if the company fails because you&#x27

I wasn't joking. I don't think that was a form letter. I think someone took the time to write a personalized, thoughtful letter to a wide-eyed 10-year old. The world needs more of that.

YES! Saw this movie 40 years ago and started playing guitar the next day. Haven't stopped since. Thanks, Steve Vai!

I've often marveled at the success many guitar players had with experimental electronics - Hendrix, EVH, Les Paul, Brian May, Jack White, and Tom Scholz (special case, of course) are just a few examples.
