*Disclaimer

Most of the stuff I post here is fun and harmless; however, I may feel the need to discuss some serious issues from time to time. I believe – as many Americans do -  that our education system is in desperate need of reform, and one of the best means of encouraging reform is through openly discussing the aspects of the system that are most in need of repair. So I’m going to say what I think needs to be said.

Please understand that the opinions expressed on my blog are my own. Nothing that I say is in any way endorsed by my school, my colleagues, my county of employment, or any other person or organization. These are my opinions, and I’m making a conscious choice to put them up in a public forum for discussion. I understand the risks associated with posting this material, but I hope the public understands that I’m simply expressing opinions, and we are all protected under the First Amendment (which, I’ll remind everyone, is supposed to protect teachers too).

Thank you.
