Wow, whoever took the actual time to type out all those lyrics in the previous comment (or went on the internet and copied and pasted them) seriously has no life. Anyways, I want a freaking banana phone.

Re: Cool Cat Teacher Blog: What's Worth Fighting for in Your School?

You know what I wish? I wish that somehow we could find a way to recognize the teachers that ask that question, say no, and actually move on in some way. Teachers who recognize that burnout has cost them effectiveness (whether within the profession or in the school) and move on before it becomes obvious to the rest of the staff, their students and the community. That it doesn't seem like such a failure. Of course I am bringing all kinds of personal baggage to this, but I am moving on from my site and I feel guilty, like I failed because the answer isn't yes anymore.
But I am with you that I wish more teachers truly asked and answered that question and acted on the answer.

The governor couldn't have picked a better person. She's bright and has great credentials. As a woman, a mother, and someone who has been around politics for longer, I think she has a completely different outlook than Tusk. I would expect a less confrontational strategy going into the Blago II administration.
