Everyone is talking about education, and yet few seems to be listening to TEACHERS! As a result, many teachers are feeling frustrated, silenced, even attacked. This blog is a forum where teachers can post videos, explaining to the public what their work entails, what they think about reform, and what it feels like to be the subject of so much one-sided media coverage... If you want to hear it from teachers themselves - or speak out as a teacher yourself - you've come to the right place!

IT'S THE TRAINING, STUPID!
With all the noise about TFA , school budgets, hiring, firing, tenure, Rhee and thee, we seem to forget that teacher training a big variable in the education equation.
Enjoyed listening to you on Bronx's blogradio. Your TFAers are lucky to have you to counter the ridiculous stuff from TFA and districts. I wonder if they understand that you taught during the days when that's what teachers really did. That's great that you can share your wisdom. Also, I didn't realize you were the Bilby and Greene, Greene. :) Love that piece and props to Bilby. cheers!
