Time Delay and Convergence

I had hoped to have the details on my column up by today but that will have to wait until next week. Until then, I hope to see some of you at the SLJ Day of Dialog on Monday, at BEA during the week, or at ALA or ISTE later in the month. That set of meetings gets at the overlaping worlds so many of us face: Common Core, digital technology, books, libraries, schools. Throw in the invitation I recent

The book is very challenging in some sections, but worth the effort for the gorgeous and eye openings final chapters.

Great to see Don's characteristic style addressed to the world of theater and film that he knew so well -- an introduction for those who only know his children's books to his great New York "Newstand" sketchbooks. ...more

Quotes by Marc Aronson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We put our children through their paces in school not so that they will learn something, or master something, or meet any standards. No. We give them tools so that they can experience the joy, the passion, of creating. All we are doing is saying, “Here, if you know this, there is more you can make; there is another path you can map; there is another song you can compose.” School—from pre-K to postdoc programs—exists so that we can all build more from within ourselves and with our colleagues.”
Marc Aronson

“This is a book about questioning what others believe to be true, not accepting ideas just because famous people say they are right. I think knowledge is more like a wave than a switch. Only very rarely do we go from being totally wrong to totally right--as a light turns off and on. Instead, what we learned before allows us to move on to what we can see next. We can surf ahead, but there will always be another challenge, another crest, another setp. We must always keep thinking and asking new questions.”
Marc Aronson, If Stones Could Speak: Unlocking the Secrets of Stonehenge

“Even such is time, which takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, and all we have,
And pays us but with age, and dust;
Who in the dark and silent grave
When we have wandered all our ways
Shuts up the story of our days.
And from which earth and grave and dust,
The Lord will raise me up I trust.

—Sir Walter Ralegh's poetry”
Marc Aronson, Sir Walter Ralegh and the Quest for El Dorado
