Newest tool for educators: Jimi Hendrix.

“Hey,” said Garcia. “We’re in San Francisco.”

Don’t get me wrong.  I spent quite a lot of time listening to Jimi Hendrix at high volume in college: …but that was when I was in the dorm room. A little weird to bring that spirit into the classroom, no?

There was a time when teachers would freak at the sound of Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze” or “Stone Free.” Now the San Francisco school district wants them to get in the spirit.
