Teach with your Pocketbook???

okay. sorry. I fear I am being wicked snarky.

But, I have to say, there is a part of me that had this thought, while reading. She keeps spending her own money. Or, getting money from these outside sources. And, there is a way in which it just feels unrealistic to me. Ack. I feel SO mean-spirited. But, I decided to just be honest with you all. [I would definitely not share this reaction if this were a "whole class" context. Nor would I share it if I didn't know most of you pretty well...]

I have to also be honest and say that right now, Thursday PM, I have not yet finished the book. I am hoping to get most of it read by tomorrow AM.

I am finding it interesting to read this alongside the book on charter schools that I am also reading.

And, don't get me wrong, there are things I am liking. But, there are a number of things I am finding unrealistic.

Reading through the posts so far, I am happy to see all the different reactions you have had and the different ideas/issues you are bringing up.

thanks! I'm looking forward to talking more tomorrow.
