As a teacher and Zappa fan, I agree with this. As many of my colleagues and I complain to each other, it's only getting worse. Standardized tests and the new emphasis on state standards has dominated actually teaching to think. I've had to combat the insanity by arranging as many field trips, guest speakers and creative activities as possible. It's been an uphill battle this year to do any of it, thanks to state testing.
Frank Zappa did not live far from me in Hollywood...near the Country Store in Laurel Canyon. He lived in a huge log cabin, called 'the Log Cabin' with an array of colorful freinds; the Plaster Casters were there a lot. When he married he moved to the Valley... Zappa was extremely intelligent, and unable to suffer fools gladly. He was an admirable person, with many serious intentions.
