Catherine, I’m so bad at replying when my inbox gets too stuffed! But I wanted to say a) thanks, and b) it’s great to hear from you. Give me an email update on how school feels!

I’ve been there–I liked it better here, but I’m a fart that way.

That’s not why I’m posting, though. At change.org, you have a petition running for Linda Darling-Hammond. Fine.

Maybe I haven’t been paying enough attention, but when are we going to stop tip-toeing around and look at Mr. Duncan for what he is?

Any way you can open up petitions like this one to general comments? What am I missing?

Wow; congrats! I’m going to be keeping up with that site as well, it looks very interesting (and I heard about change.org somewhere from a youtube video about helping girls in 3rd-world countries, but never ended up visiting the site).

I still hope you continue posting here, though. I want to read through your old archives, hehe.

[...] I recently moved Higher Edison here from its former digs. When a business moves to new location, it’s always classy when they paint-scrawl the new address (”We’ve moved to 325 Industry Boulevard!”) on papered-over storefront windows. My version of that redirect scrawl: After a too-long, unplanned sabbatical from writing, a period happily packed with parenting and other worthwhile distractions, I’m gingerly easing back into it. I hope. Meanwhile, much has changed. You can say that again. [...]

Your new blog adds a degree of empowerment to everyone who believes that there are dimensions to school which can always be enhanced, locally and globally. Paul Cs last blog post..CBC Radio Invitation: Obama Play List

Clay - the blog has an easy look and navigability to it. It will be interesting to see what you and your guest bloggers will write about here. I look forward to it and congratulations !!! Harold Shaws last blog post..Our 210th variation on the theme, "Thank you for using FeedBurner."

I added your new blog in my bookmark list

I’m glad to see that the new quest looks settled and to hear that you are continuing with this blog. Though they do not directly address education, good readings that let students add more perspectives on subjects typically not taught in schools (e.g., Gilgamesh series) are part of going beyond school, and I have to confess that I still look forward to reading more of those posts also. As you mentioned before, they are “healthy” diversions.

Happy new year and I hope you have a wonderful time in Thailand.
