An Introduction

Like many other teachers in the United States, I have recently been laid off from my teaching position. This sour note has left me with time to contemplate my feelings and to ponder the reasons for our current education malfunction.

I am curious to see what other people have to say on the subject since it is something that I cannot separate myself from. I also like to think that if enough people talked about reform, including "how to" suggestions, then it could actually make a difference. That is my hope for this blog. Not just to complain about how bad our schools are or how under-appreciated us teachers are, but how to fix problems.

Let the fixing begin!
