My Personal Blog with thoughts about Public Education and more...
I started this blog in 2006, while I was still teaching. I was frustrated by the overuse and misuse of testing, the decreasing classroom teacher autonomy, and the intrusion of "reformist" ideology into our school.
Beginning in January 2013, I started putting a copy of every blog post on a WordPress Blog. Someone told me that I needed to switch from Blogger to WordPress, so I started double posting with the intent of eventually moving there permanently. After a while, however, I realized that Blogger meets my needs as well, if not better than WordPress. I still post there as well as on Blogger since I get a few hits for each post...

Northeast Indiana Friends of Public Education
NEIFPE MISSION STATEMENT: We are citizens, teachers, administrators, and parents united by our support for public education and by concerns for its future. Recent federal and state reform measures have created an over-emphasis on testing and have turned over public education to private interests. We believe that these reforms threaten the well-being of our children and jeopardize their futures. Our goal is to inform ourselves and to start community discussion about the impact of these measures on our public schools and, more importantly, on our children.
