If you didn't absolutely love Shakespeare in high school, you had a really poor teacher. I'm not backing down.

I bought a new litterbox tonight. It's dishwasher-safe. Are there really people who would put a litterbox in the dishwasher? The horror....

Clients deserve excellent mechanics when we write for them. I call it the "trust factor." Careless in front=careless in back.

A diploma is good for the self-esteem, I understand that, but without the skills to back it up, it really means less than nothing.

It seems to me that "graduating" kids who have no literacy or marketable skills is cheating both them & the nation.

A good PD should help us see connections & help students understand them, too. English is science is history is math is music, etc.

I can't respect adults in any profession who aren't eager, avid learners: willing to upgrade skills, experiment, change routines.

I've had to sit through too many renamed failed old stuff being marketed as something brand new. If PD wants my respect, earn it.
