Because we are in the midst of summer, I have been trying to keep my posts in a relatively light vein. However, to give you an idea of what is coming up as we get closer to school opening again, I am listing a series of topics that I hope to explore, in no particular order.
As always, I invite readers’ input. Is there something that you would like me to address?
For example, if you are a member of the general public interested in public education, is there anything that you have been wondering about that I or the readers of this blog might help you with?
If you are a parent, what have been your experiences dealing with the education system? What have been your best experiences? What have been your worst?
If you are a teacher, are there issues in your life as an educator that might help readers to better understand the profession? Is there any advice that we can offer about problems you are confronting?
If you are an administrator, my criticisms notwithstanding, what do you do to foster a positive school climate for both staff and students?
**DON’T FORGET THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS KEEP YOUR COMMENTS ANONYMOUS OR PSEUDONOYMOUS IF YOU PREFER**

Wow, lots of resources here.
I'm actually a teacher but my students are usually twice my age : I teach French to civil servant in Canada, since under Law 101 the federal governement has to be bilingual at some level. I love my job...
I wonder what I would be like to teach in school. It's a move I'd love to make.
Zhu, I never had the experience of teaching adults, but I often thought that in some ways it might be gratifying, inasmuch as adults tend to be more self-disciplined than youth, especially if they see value in what is being offered to them.
