Bravo, Joel! | Billionaires for Educational Reform
https://smellington.wordpress.com/2011/06/12/bravo-joel
Billionaires for Educational Reform. Bravo, Mr. Governor. June 12, 2011 · 10:25 am. I say, it’s bold of Joel to write this piece. Pointing out how billionaires have managed to influence the politicians to finally represent their point of view in education. For too long, it’s been, “Oh, how can we help the rabble? Does a pension make a better teacher? Nonetheless, low salaries certainly save dollars that can go to tax cuts for important people like me, Muffy, Michael Bloomberg and Eli Broad. Yes Joel Klei...

Life at the Morton School: October 2010
http://themortonschool.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Life at the Morton School. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. The Best of Days, the Worst of Days. Did I have a great day or a terrible day? It's after 7 pm and I'm still wondering. Let's look at the evidence from the text:. One of my advisees got into a truly. Dirrrrty girl fight today, and because I happened to be in the hallway, I got to babysit the girl she fought while waiting for a dean to pick her up because the two girls needed to be separated (obviously). Two kids openly complained about their grades.

Math Tales from the Spring. A place for sharing fresh ideas about teaching high school math. Friday, August 9, 2013. Why Didn't I Think of This. As part of our district's Teacher Leader Collaborative, I helped facilitate a workshop today on interactive notebooks. I enjoyed working with teachers from all over our district from kindergarten to Precal as we explored how to engage students in writing and reflecting about the math they were learning in an interactive and engaging manner. I also had my kiddos ...

Life at the Morton School. Thursday, September 16, 2010. BRILLIANT and beautiful piece at GothamSchools about building respect and collegiality among generations of teachers. You must read this. Posted by Miss Eyre. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. School Aides Rock My World. What is it about school aides that makes them so awesome? I don't know. Just like teachers, these folks do NOT get paid enough for the fantastic and essential work they do. And they work hard. You ain't seen nothing. He's so awesome t...

Life at the Morton School. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. So Cathie Black, to no one's surprise, has been granted the necessary waiver to serve as Chancellor. I stand by my position that I'm attempting to reserve judgment until she actually does something, but in the meantime, I'm going to continue to speculate about the situation, since it's all anyone is talking about anyway. Who wants to think about anything else with eighteen long school days remaining until the holiday break? Posted by Miss Eyre. Hope ...

Life at the Morton School. Friday, January 29, 2010. Well, for all intents and purposes, January is over. On Monday, the school year will be more than halfway over. And thank goodness for that. I haven't had a month like this since early 2008. Posted by Miss Eyre. Thursday, January 21, 2010. Loose Lips Sink Ships. In that case," one of my students said, "my sister is lettin' in all.
