Re: [MOSAIC] boys and reading and political climate
Good for you, Kay and my hats off to Wisconsin teachers and public employees! Y'all are an inspiration. It is s important for teachers to speak up and shout out. We have been silent for too long - obedient, really. It's time to get in their faces because if we don't our students are going to lose, especially those whose voices are not rich enough or privileged enough to be heard by the powers that be. Elisa Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Teacher Spanish Learning Leader Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. Helen Keller The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water. -Former US Cabinet member John W. Gardner Visit my blog, A Teacher's Ruminations, and post a message. http://waingortgrade2spanishbilingual.blogspot.com/ Good Morning! I found *Reading Don't Fix No Chevys *an eye opening book. It is a study with High School students but it give a great perspective on boy's interests and their reading habits. Also, I am from Wisconsin and we are facing some disturbing legilations pushing more testing in 3rd grade modeled after Florida and of course the whole teacher - public employee bashing. I have started to pay a lot of attention to what is happening and gotten vocal. The only way to fight these ill informed bills is to get as much information as possible and to be vocal to the legilators, with friends and acquaintances who may not have access to information, and to vote. This won't go away unless teachers in the trenches who really know what is at stake speak up and fight. It has been a very tiring 4 months in Wisconsin, but I know our schools and students are at risk of losing out. It may even mean the end of public education as we know it. I urge all of you to jump in!
