yesterday I enjoyed the event. But my enjoyment was not about the politicos -
I listened to Diane Ravitch and she was horrible in her pitch to save "public
education" by downgrading and attacking all who do not agree with her views.
My joy, as usual, came on the exhibitors floor where I could rub elbows with
independent free-thinkers, making connections and selling their wares (yes,
Diane, they are for-profit motivated). Meeting and talking to Siri Anderson -
Director of Online Learning at St Kate's. Listening to Jackie Roehl - 2012
Teacher of the Year. These are the free-thinkers who go about their business,
paying little attention to the political experts.
But as long as the vote getters who have power and control stay in the
majority, nothing will change.
