Welcome to my World

I have wanted to start this blog for a long time...so here it goes. For 17 years I have taught in a middle school and I have observed many things during this time. My hope is to create a forum for teachers, parents, and all of those people involved in educating our children, to discuss today's issues in education. In this day and age there are so many challenges in the field of education. We are on the front line trying to prepare these students for a productive and healthy place in our society. It is quite disturbing to see so many headlines in the news about schools and students in trouble. We cannot stick our heads in the sand and ignore these concerns. We need to open up the dialogue and work toward an effective plan to reach all of our children. Together we can do this. I welcome you to join me in the discussion.
