Why I'm Here

One of the things that "they" tell teachers in endless meetings, workshops and professional development conferences is the need to reflect on what you are doing. I think the need is more about the need to rant than anything.
I have not figured out who the "they" is that sends down incessant proclamations about what I need to do, but I am new at bureaucracy. Maybe I will find out.
I guess this blog is a way to do as they say. It is a chance to reflect. Too bad there isn't an incentive program that covers this.
I think it is more likely that this will serve as a place for me to come to some sort of understanding of what public education is, or what it is supposed to be.
