• Jordan Clarkson, after an iffy first playoff run with Cleveland, has developed into a key piece with Utah

  24-08-2020 23:54
  
  Jordan Clarkson’s first playoff run didn’t go well.It was two seasons ago, and he had just been acquired in a last ditch deadline deal to try to save the Cavaliers, to give LeBron James the supporting cast necessary to win another NBA Finals.Being thrust from the perennially losing Lakers into the Eastern Conference Finals favorite was jarring to Clarkson, and it seemed to reflect in his play that playoffs. He shot just 30% from the field in 19 games, averaging just 4.7 points per ga

  As a longtime teacher who has heard every complaint under the sun about how horrible school is, how boring, arbitrary, irrelevant and unfair, I find myself somewhat taken aback by the fierce pressure to return to regular classroom instruction.Of course, those complaints were from students, and much of the pressure is from grownups concerned about little things like getting back to work or helping young ones learn and grow. Kids themselves, par for the course, aren't much asked what they think.Bu
