Nicely done, you are, as always, "point on". The video clip was especially well done. Children are so much more than just a test. Now if we can just convince congress of that fact during the reauthorization of ESEA. Time will tell. Paul Hey Lily!

Time will tell.

You are inspiring and make me remember way back when, when teaching was a worthy ambition, one that had me rounding up the neighborhood kids to conduct class on my front porch, one that made my Daddy proud and I'm proud that I made him, an 8th-grade dropout, proud. That 8th-grade dropout was the smartest man I knew; he was smart enough to always tell me, "Get as much education as you can." Like him, you inspire me anew. Thank you!!
