Arts and music are education essentials, as are English, science and math.

It's high time to return to the Clinton-era tax rates. From today's NYTimes:
"...most Americans in 2010 paid far less in total taxes — federal, state and local — than they would have paid 30 years ago. According to an analysis by The New York Times, the combination of all income taxes, sales taxes and property taxes took a smaller share of their income than it took from households with the same inflation-adjusted income in 1980.
"Households earning more than $200,000 benefited from the largest percentage declines in total taxation as a share of income. Middle-income households benefited, too. More than 85 percent of households with earnings above $25,000 paid less in total taxes than comparable households in 1980."

Having to "dress down" for teaching art, I appreciate every chance I get to dress up! I bemoan the lack of sartorial (love the word!) protocol in today's public culture. Let's bring back official uniforms and unofficial public dress codes! Let's bring back the gas station attendant's official jacket and hat (actually, let's bring back the gas station attendant!).
At St. Rose's commencement last weekend, everyone was decked out in academic regalia, a splendid medieval uniform if ever there was one! I felt wonderfully professorial in my black robe and "mortarboard" cap (with its tassel tickling my left cheek) watching my students march off to their future similarly attired. I might just have to trade in my work apron and teach painting in an academic robe (it would do double duty as a smock!).
