Disrupting Class
On page 29, I find it interesting how the author had laid out all of the ways people/students learn and then asked the question "why do schools standardize the way they teach and test?"
This questions should not and could not be answered by teachers, we want to/and do teach other ways, we want our students to be successful, but when March rolls around, our students lose that opportunity to show us what they've learned in their own way and they have to show us on a test that carries a lot of weight on it....I think the people who should be answering these questions are the ones who upholds these rules! And I think they owe our students the explanation!

Blogging 101
Hopefully you all received invites to this blog. I'm still waiting for three or four of you to respond.
Wow...what a week it has been! Guidance has moved into the library and it all went smoothly. Eight of us now have our digs in the library (Robin is only here half the time and not at all on Wednesdays), nine if you count Deb Hardy who is here while a wall is being moved in her room. It's kind of fun.
See you this afternoon.
