Welcome, readers. Biographyjar.com has existed to tell my views and life story, complete with zombies. I merged a zombie blog into a biography blog and created… ummm, I’m not sure what. But I renewed the blog anyway. Enjoy.
Reader’s Magnet has accidentally linked to this blog, rather than my education blog. If you are interested in general education topics and my life experiences as a teacher, try https://www.eduhonesty.com, now over 10 years old. It’s nowhere near reaching influencer status, but it does have almost 20,000 users, many of whom I suspect of being real humans and not bots.
Should you wish to order my book on the deteriorating state of US education, type “Fighting the White Knight Jocelyn Turner” into a search engine. It’s available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other sites. Prices vary so it’s worth shopping a bit. I am excited that “Fighting the White Knight” was exhibited at the 2023 San Diego Union-Tribune Festival of Books and the 2023 Printers Row Lit Fest in Chicago!
More information is available at eduhonesty.com — including my email and various social media links.
Why order my book? It’s honest. I don’t pretend we can fix education by improving pedagogy. Reader, are you tired of clueless pundits pushing cheap, simple solutions to expensive, complex problems? Me too!
In fact, I’m exhausted.
Zombie phrase for the day: Good intentions are killing us.
Gooooduddehhnchuhhns ahhhr gihwinguzzz.
What’s in this blog? Zombie phrases for 2023 (same as last year and years before that), random life coaching advice of a sometimes dubious nature, along with stories about invisible slugs and carpet purchases. Go back far enough and you will find tips on how to survive Z Day. Some teaching experiences have managed to bleed into biographyjar, but I have tried to keep work and fantasy/personal life separate.
Playing fewer computer games can free up time. We all have personal time-sucks. Question for readers: What are your time-sucks? Facebook? Computer gaming? Food preparation? Daydreaming? Reading? Screensucking? Where does your time go? Are you happy with your use of time? If endlessly watching Dr. Who episodes makes you happy and the bills are getting paid, why not support various Who doctors?
If loose ends and undone projects are coming at you in the form of random, fragmentary bursts of anxiety, though, you might want to look at where the time goes.
Getting started is often most of the battle.
