Sorry for the sporadic posts. We’ve had nothing but bad news, it seems, for so long that I’ve decided that I’m only going to post items that are positive or hopeful.
This story on MSNBC.com highlights people whose careers have been upended, but perhaps their stories – and those of the kids they teach – will have happier endings. Teachers in Georgia get a lot of the blame for poor student performance, which for most is unfair. On the other hand, if more of our best and brightest who become castoffs in the economic meltdown start teaching our kids, perhaps there’s reason to feel positive about the future.
