Every day as I search the educational news, I am looking for
uplifting inspiration. I am looking for genuine good news not good spin and
positive gains not basic improvements. I am looking for stuff that makes me
excited to share to everyone so that everyone else can pass it along. This is
getting harder and harder to do.
I have blogged about this before, and I will continue to do so
until this changes; our tone in education is all doom and gloom.
We are not excited about education the way we should be; instead,
we are always worried. We are not talking about the latest true innovations in
teaching, but rather all the areas we are lacking. We do not celebrate good educators
enough (once a year); we just continually talk about the bad ones (everyday).
Have you ever noticed that if anyone was ever a teacher (no matter how short a
period or even if you were a substitute) and they do something wrong, they are
always “a former teacher…”?
Tone has a lot to do with how this conversation is going, so
I will end with what I think is some good news; my kids love school and love
learning. I enjoy hearing what they have to share with me every day, and I hope
I always will.
