Posted on August 16th, 2009 by Carol
There are so many amazing tools out in the world our students live in. The kids know lots of them, swimming out past the waves, and I am just dabbling my toe in a tidepool on the beach. The good thing is that most kids will share what they know.
Then I just need to know enough [...]

Tuesday: still no Teach-In
Posted on April 29th, 2008 by Carol
Today was the NCLB-mandated standardized test for math, so, once again, I sat in my student’s home while she worked on, and on. And on. Sixty questions. Although she is too ill to go to school, she is a cheerful and philosophical soul. She’s also extremely bright, so my docile compliance with state testing requirements [...]

A Teacher’s Thoughts on Daylight Savings Time
Posted on March 14th, 2008 by Carol
The time has sprung forward. This means it is still dark at 6:30, but it feels like 10 pm at 11 pm. (An insane practice.)
I have three dogs. They do nothing to support or enhance the household economy, or even bring home the dog biscuits.* It’s the last day of school before our spring intersession, [...]
