The education reformists think that this can be done for education. What doesa that say about their regard for Educators??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825564092223985753.post-80094127865269570822012-11-05T19:18:29.689-08:002012-11-05T19:18:29.689-08:00I enjoyed reading this post but I do not believe t...I enjoyed reading this post but I do not believe that being a long term educator is necessary in order to be in a standing position in government to make sound decisions for education. What you need is a representative who will LISTEN to teachers and students, and these people exist. Not all governmental representatives are evil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825564092223985753.post-87527438558416500792012-10-27T13:07:01.946-07:002012-10-27T13:07:01.946-07:00Good post.

I believe we can only 2500 characters so if you are o.k. with it, we could choose the parts that resonate with us. Of course I'd make sure to let people know they have to include where it came from.<br />http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825564092223985753.post-79807567405670662082012-10-24T06:58:03.037-07:002012-10-24T06:58:03.037-07:00Wow!

In Indiana, as the election nears and we have an opportunity to speak out against our abuser, Tony Bennett, I believe I will emulate your post in an upcoming blog and use the battered-spouse analogy again. Please consider it flattery.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this important, powerful, and well-written piece.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825564092223985753.post-29387544872647370852012-10-23T07:01:48.904-07:002012-10-23T07:01:48.904-07:00That was a mind-blowing and powerful analogy compa...That was a mind-blowing and powerful analogy comparing the treatment of teachers to the treatment dished out by domestic abusers. Kudos to you! My career teaching, which I loved doing, ended when I was forced to administer false grades (I refused = I lost my job). Your blog is incredibly funny. I love the satire. But it is also troubling. It's time for an uprising in this country. This behemoth that is educational bureaucracy is spinning out of control. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
