My read-everyday blogger is emphatic about "EDUCATING YOUNG STUDENTS IS NOT A BUSINESS!"

We share an angst about our public education system. We view it from different perspectives.

I am particularly impressed by this post: Courage Needs Fear by Definition

There are two points that, when put together, I have a question about.

"It is appropriate to describe what goes on at an individual school if it is relevant to the public (taxpayers). It should not concern the taxpayer which school one is describing in particular, but only that a problem exists that needs to be addressed. Those involved know what school is having which problem."

"We must have reasonable faith that those in administration we disagree with are acting according to their best beliefs of how things should be."

I have watched many Board meetings and had years of experience in both describing individual issues and grappling with trying to have reasonable faith in administrators.


Through blogging and other on-line media, I now see evidence of teachers who are trying to expose problems that effect their ability to perform their job as educators. I see teachers using research based articles and references to support their positions.
