Much like Nate's "silence" before retirement from the Army, I too don't share as much as I think about the current state of education. 3 years from now, I won't be so filtered- not so much about me getting in trouble via chain of command as it is keeping my sanity by not keeping it at the surface of my reality. I've learned that those who are in charge, really don't give two "craps" about what you think about matters- they only care that you do what they want.........because they're the "paid expert" so shut up and do what you're told. In education, you REALLY understand why schools are "gun free" zones, 'cause there'd be a whole lot a "fragin" going on in this day and age! ;)
