Teachers are always having to accommodate change; I've yet to see the exception. In any place I've worked, there has always been change, and all required constant shifts in thinking. When I started, we had Madeline Hunter lesson plans, then those went out the window, and in came something else, and then a revolving door to education was placed at the school entry way, and the old has never found its way out; truly, what goes around comes around, but in this case it looks quite a bit different from what came in. It may take awhile to recognize it for what it is, but...lurking in the shadows, it's there. Madeline Hunter with the twist of Multiple Disciplines with a hefty dose of techno and oh yeah, make sure it is across the board while you're at it!

I don't really mind change (though I hate its beginnings). What I mind is that the change is never permanent! I suppose that sounds a little oxymoronic, but we try something new, and throw it out. We try something new...and throw it out. It doesn't matter if it works or not, we throw it out. It is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....speaking of change...may I interrupt me? I'm trying to get this done but my daughter keeps sending messages because she is bored in her college class; she's on her lappie chatting to her mommy, but, as she so eloquently pointed out, the people sitting around her are on their lappys too, but they are playing tetris and at least 5 types of solitaire and a video game that she doesn't recognize, and that is just on the monitors she can see....now...is that education today???? Ok, I'll come back to the post when I have time adjust to the change in environment!
