Students & Coyotes: Instruction in Poetry and Prose,
or S.C.I.P.P.,
is what public education
can become.

On a college campus!
Working alongside graduate students!
Writing poetry and prose!
With Los Madres next door 
debating college, parenting, and community!
En Espanol!

It is here
the world of the K-12 student
leaves a fear-based curriculum
to create, critique, share
at Cal State San Bernardino.

And it all started with a simple
conversation between a few teachers.

Please enjoy the video above
and write a comment below.

Special thanks to Professor Delgado
and the MFA mentors
for seeing that giving back
is among the most useful of lessons.

Yes, it is true.
I fancy the nerdy femme fatales.
How could you not?!

The glasses.
The nomenclature.
Their virtues as a scrabble partner…

But I digress!
This little tasty video is about words.
Beautiful words.
We all use them.
Make them.
Fear them.

But fret not!
You can control these terrifying teamings of phonemes.
You can even make up your own!

PoopleDabble.

See?!, I just made one!:
PoopleDabble = n. little lies used by “experts” to justify their expertise.  Ronald used a fair amount of PoopleDabble to justify the $1o,ooo he spent on his teaching credential.

Double dactyl, yo.

So enjoy this video from Erin McKean (more like Erin McDreamy-wink, wink)
and expand all of our vocabularies by making new vocabulary.
