Brain....fried....

After more than 24 hours of lectures with time to only sleep, eat, and travel to and from the conference, I can honestly state that my brain is, indeed, fried.

However, I gained so much from this experience. I'd like to just put up a few of the quotes/thoughts that I wrote down and see what you think. (Some of these are not exact because I couldn't write as fast as many of the presenters talked. If you have correct versions of any quotes I get wrong, let me know and I'll change them.)

"Injustice is more the 'norm' than justice. We must fight against injustice as much as we fight for justice." ~ Estelle R. Jorgensen

"We must understand our own white priviledge before we can change how we teach." ~ Deborah Bradley

"In spite of our admiration for change, we are creatures of habit and do not like to change what we teach and how we teach it." ~ Carol Richardson (paraphrased)

"Mankind struggles to find one value, and cannot agree on anything for long." ~ Roberta Lamb (paraphrased)

"Music education professionals are not musicians with pedagogical training. They are also not educators with musical training. It is more complex than that." ~ Wayne Bowman (paraphrased)


I wish I could have written faster!
