Welcome to ANI In The Air, under the 10th and around Baltimore, your daily podcast briefing of all the goings ons, ins and rounds, or attend any of the Sudbury School.

So today, I actually don't know too much of anything particularly to talk about. There was JC, but it was before I got in because I was doing yet another admissions interview.
0:19
And then, yeah, it was kind of a rainy day, so I think a lot of people stayed inside, although, I don't know, it was quite pleasant and nice out here right now, and I don't see people wandering around too much.
0:39
A couple people here and there, but mostly they seemed to be inside. There was an interesting incident of a lot of emotions and drama, and I have to say there was a moment when I kind of intervened to just kind of make sure everything stayed calm and within our acceptable rules and guidelines.
1:02
But, yeah, it was just a hint of pressure to just not step over that line, and then that was enough to calm the people down enough, and then they kind of all worked it all out themselves, and I didn't get involved in any of that, but I witnessed them kind of apologizing and figuring it all out.
1:26
I don't have any idea what it was all about. I heard snippets, but it doesn't really make any sense to me. I assume that if there were rules broken or anything that it could be written up, but, you know, I just see, I saw involved some of our younger ones as I think being sort of the primary drivers of the emotions, but they pulled in some older ones who were concerned about what was kind of going on,
1:55
then, I don't know, something happened in that process. So, you know, like it's all this emotional drama and working it out and just figuring it, you know, like, and, you know, fundamentally there is this desire by our students to make sure that everyone's safe and accepted.
2:16
And sometimes, you know, that desire, while noble, can drive to other negative consequences, which, you know, is then a learning experience, right? We all want to be helpful to one another, but there's a certain limitation as to just, you know, what you can do for people, and sometimes you just need to back off, sometimes you just need to make sure that everyone's breathing nicely.
2:42
So, yeah, there was that. That was cool. And there was still some snowball stand going on today. It feels a lot cooler to me, but this is a good year for the snowball stand in relation to ANI because we're usually closed by now.
3:03
Alright, so that's what I got for that. Tomorrow we'll do an article club, a grab bag of topics. It might be the last article club, so come out if you want. I say that because next week we've got the beach field trip on Thursday, so unless we reschedule article club it won't happen next week.
3:26
And then after that is the last week of school, and Thursday beforehand might be a little busy in terms of end of year practice and whatever. So, you know, we'll see. That could be the last one. So hopefully we make it a good one.
3:41
I did do a wondrous Wednesday today. Basically the wonders of computer chips and transistors and Moore's law. I kind of rambled about it. It was largely me just looking at some Wikipedia pages and telling you about it.
3:58
But if it encourages someone to actually go and investigate it further, my job will be done. So you have a good one and I will see you when I see you.
