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!

SANDY HOOK and HOW YOU CAN HELP

I live close enough to Newtown, Connecticut to know people who were personally touched by the tragedy at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in December, 2012.  I work with people who lost family members and friends.  And I regularly receive pleas from parents who organized a group called "The Sandy Hook Promise" on behalf of their precious children who were senselessly killed by preventable gun violence. The organization works to end senseless gun-related deaths, and to promote sensible gun violence prevention laws.

 They need our help.
Please check out their site.  Donate if you can.
Thanks.
