I have a list of all different kinds of profound ideas for sharing with my lovely subscribers and yet, this morning … I found myself just kind of goofing off.  A friend of mine sent me a link to Allie Brosh’s blog called Hyperbole and a Half telling me how funny she is.  I could [...]

I saw this video on Seth Godin’s Blog called “What Teachers Make.”  The speaker, Taylor Mali, author of the book What Learning Leaves recites his anecdotal poem about the true gifts that a teacher leaves in their wake.  Among other things he says he makes kids “…wonder, question, and criticize.”  It made me think to [...]
