This blog is meant to force me to actually write every day on the ideas I'm encountering in my graduate work in education. I hope it will help when I'm trying to piece my thesis together. Comments would be welcome. :)
So I have all these ideas that I'm trying to hold in my head simultaneously, but they're all linked with each other, so when I develop one of them, the others automatically shift position, and I'm left in completely uncharted territory, every nanosecond or so. What's the big deal, you ask? Well, here goes. My work as a teacher has different facets. I teach courses in two completely different subjects, and I coach debate teams. Plus I have to organize student participation in various extra curricular activities. So there's a fair bit of mental juggling to do on a day to day basis. THEN there's the fact that I have the mixed blessing of being interested in just about everything under the sun, and the connections between all those things. So there's a desire to look at educational policy at the national level, changes in thinking about education in the world of academia, changes in the world of teachers, the role of private schools in 'public' education...
