Jen, Is there
any way that we could have a focused discussion around a
shared read on the
list. That might be a way of getting back our original
focus. This poetry
discussion is interesting. Might we take it deeper by
some of us agreeing
to read a good book on teaching poetry as a group? > Know
we've done it in

Heard's books. I would love to reread - I have several. What >

awakening the heart. Just a thought.
I get weary of finding programs and
ways that we have to compromise our
practices out there in schools. Know
that is important discussion as well
but this other kind of discussion is
what fills me up and gives me hope.
That may be most important at this time
in education history!
