Your thoughtful consideration of real-classroom issues on a scale that considers the individual moment and individual teacher really hits home. I'm in a great building with great teachers and a fabulous principal - and it is a large part of what keeps me moving forward. The lack of contract, unsupportive superintendent and myopic school board is just a small price to pay to work with my colleagues in a job that I love. Thanks for your reflection.

We have it very great and sometimes we need a gut check to remind us. I had a similar experience this afternoon when I talked to one of the tech people at a small school where I will be doing a presentation on integrating technology. When I asked what technology they have she was very excited to say we just got 2 portable projectors in the JH and HS. How can I teach them how to integrate technology daily...shouldn't I first give them a list of all the things they need to get? This presentation like yours is going to be a strain. I also have thought many times I hope I get to teach with my great teaching partner next year and my principal and everything else that I think makes teaching so great...but I know in my heart it is all going to be okay. Thank you for reminding me how great we have it! All I can say is you are so right. We have it very great and sometimes we need a gut check to remind us.
