Back to School

Oy Vey....OY VEY Back to full-time work and it's...hard. I went from being my own boss, working hard but having the opportunity to be creative. And, everybody was pleased. I'm back in a system where people are stressed (already!), and I haven't worked with a child yet and it's been nearly 3 weeks. Yesterday I sat in the same chair in a windowless conference room from 8:00 until 3:30 with 20 minutes to walk around the building (and breathe). Friday I am in another all-day meeting in another town learning about assessment and the most challenged students. And we wonder what's wrong with education?
