Through the Eyes of an Educator

Welcome to my site, ladies and gentleman.

Though it should, more or less, go without saying, I am a teacher. I have decided that I should write a blog because there is really a lot to say about education in the United States. Some of it is quite controversial, and some of it everybody seems to agree on. I intend to cover a lot of these topics, as well as use this for a personal journal of my own experiences. Since my experiences may involve specific people, I intend to keep all things vague enough that it is never fully clear exactly who I am, nor is it ever clear who I work with. If I ever refer to people directly by name, it is because I have their permission to do so, but I will still only use their first name.

I think that it would be fantastic if this became an open forum for teachers, parents, students, or just the casual observer to discuss education. Problems, successes, talk about solutions, or even exchange lessons. I hope that this will be the first of many posts, and look forward to all replies. Thanks very much!
