In order to change up a little, I have some random thoughts I have been considering:
1) Is there any better display of what America’s priorities are than the bailout? Wall Street begins to crash, banks fail, and the economy begins to dry up and we commit 700 billion dollars to saving it. Our schools are in jeopardy, and we get an unfunded initiative like No Child Left Behind.
2) Before I took this job, I went to great lengths to stay off the Internet other than with my students. Now, you can follow me on Plurk which is sort of like Twitter, only different. Why the change? I keep asking myself that very question.
3) Why is it that when my cell phone rings, it is always in the other room?
4) I would like to see the coyote catch the Road Runner…..once.
5) I have come to discover that when teaching, some of our worst days are better than most people’s best days.
6) I don’t fail. I systematically test all the ways not to succeed so I can be sure of my course of action.
