And it's such a loss to lose you from the classrooms and teachers you worked with. Five years ago I would have been heartbroken to know you changed positions. Today, I'm thrilled. Why? Because when you take all teaching decision-making away from the teachers and put it into the hands of administrators, we have got to provide our very best teachers to the administrative field or we'll get what we ask for, just by default. So...thank you.
Oh, I'd love to work in your schools. I've always wondered if I got misplaced and should have been born on the east coast. Actually my grandfather came to Nebraska on the train from New York during the depression with 2 sets of clothes and a trunk full of books to teach in a 1-room school with 43 students.df And I'm not so sure but his 43 were easier to teach than what we face today.
