School

[Keith Davis]

Tomorrow is the final day of summer session at Furman, where I teach Jazz
Piano.
This summer I've been teaching Intro to Jazz, my first time teaching a
class other than a workshop
or Taiji class. It has been very gratifying, until time to read the
research papers. These kids
obviously did the research, but the writing, for the most part, is
horrible. I found myself correcting
grammar and syntax, until deciding that was not my job in this course.

I'm obviously no Mr. P, but these kids, for the most part, don't even know
how to write proper sentences
or separate thoughts into paragraphs. It is a real eye-opener, and not in a
good way.

Anyway, I'll be finishing M & D tonight, and then treating myself to some
Borges, so, onward...
