An educated mind is an opened mind. An opened mind is a liberal mind. Teachers don't have to intend to create liberals, it happens naturally.
On the inside:It's the grading of final exams, projects, and papers edition.Links to other education stories.As always, the topics will be whatever you want to discuss.
Door's Open...
Imagine Blankness
I was going to leave this area blank, to represent the relative state of my mind, but then I thought, given the relative state of my mind, I wouldn't have gotten the point.
I'll be hanging around most of the day, actively waiting for your comments (actually, I'll be at home grading stuff and preparing classes), so at least one person will be here to discuss whatever anyone wants to discuss.
The Not-so-many Rules
No general bashing of administrators, politicians, etc, just on general principles. If you want to bash them, have a point and a plan.No bitching about students unless your talking about what you are going to do to alleviate the problems you think the students have.Introductions are encouraged, but not essential.I have no investment in hosting the Teacher's Lounge. If someone else thinks they can and wants to do it better, cool. I just want the space. And not for teachers only, but respecting the general theme of teaching and learning.Teacher's Lounge can be "slow blogging" if you want it to be. You don't get quality writing if you demand velocity. It doesn't have to be the case that something posted today is dead by tomorrow. I would like it to eventually be up and active 24/7, but that may have to wait until I have developed an independent blog site.
Every Saturday I'll post a clean slate, between 10am and 11am EST.
