The notes fall into two categories:

Meditations on the first seven lines of Hamlet, Mary Oliver's "Wild Geese," and a poem by Wallace Stevens

Briefs about how school could be better.   

Written for imagined classrooms of former students, the meditations argue god is the metaphor that won't die. 

Meant to help those in actual admin buildings, the briefs,  claim schools should act as workshops, not an assembly line.
