Talked with my students about Tracy Chapman after the grammys. Yep, this generation knows her cuz tiktok. Talked about seeing her in concert, how profound it was.
A student came to me today, said she had a poet to share with me who reminded her of Tracy Chapman: Gwendolyn Brooks. Great art transcends time and generations. We’ll be okay, these young ones have it rough but they are amazing.
@LaurelGreen That's definitely inspiring bc sometimes, I really worry about our future. I'm a Gen-X kid & we're so resilient & proud. These kids have the power to chg the world for the better. I hope they run w/that. I'm so impressed at how they make climate change a reality & vow to educate us & enact new standards. I appreciate that they understand the power of a🗳️. It sickens me they know so much abt school violence, but make their voices heard & I love that. Always nice to hear we'll be ok.✌🏼
@JetSetChristy8 I share your gen x angst. Being a teacher, interacting with these kids brings me so much hope.
