A word or two about this Blog site:

I've resisted creating my own place here in cyberspace for some time. There are many brilliant, articulate people writing about what's going on in public education. Mountains of data and knowledge that expose the "education reform" movement as neither can be found all over the internet. I highly recommend you check out dianeravitch.com or curmudgucation.blogspot.com, for starters.

I would like to use this site as a way to rant a little and to pose my own questions, as issues in my daily teaching life impel me to rant and I do like to ask questions. And my friends and family may have grown weary of me filling their inboxes. I also like to muse about possible answers, and hope I will be heard in cyberspace by at least a few interested readers.

Having said that, I seek communication in writing that moves the conversation forward, even towards actionable results. I know I can't control writers I've never met and never will meet, but if you choose to comment, I encourage you to help us understand your point of view. Snark is welcomed. Rudeness is not.

Thanks for reading!

CONGRATULATIONS BETTY ROSA!

Can we all take a moment to be happy, grateful, and hopeful in NY State?
It seems to happen so rarely these days that there’s anything to celebrate in the public education policy arena.
The good news: Betty Rosa was just chosen to be our next Education Chancellor! 
I’ve met Ms. Rosa several times at NYSAPE forums where she is happy to speak and just to listen. She is a tremendous supporter of real teaching, real learning, and understands what our true challenges are.
Surely, the tides can start to turn now…
Let’s do what we can to help and support Ms. Rosa in her new position.
Maybe New York can help lead other states in a new direction.
- Ever hopeful me...
