We Are Never Alone in the Classroom

I came across a site recently authored by a teacher who shares our effort to raise awareness about what is happening in education as we see it at the classroom level. His perspective is different and he has it tougher. Much tougher.

Among the provocative posts this one makes me stop and think, especially since our nation doesn't like to talk much about socioeconomic issues in general.

As refreshing as it is to hear from someone this honest who works in a classroom, it is also unsettling. I also read this and found it equally unsettling.
