Sounds like you are doing "good"...Steve,<br /> Sounds like you are doing "good" this summer. But based on our lack of contact and your inability to win another award for your writing I have decided to begin my own blog titled "Teaching Deeper Underground." It will be similar to the original TU but written with less knowledge and even less skill. Mostly it will strongly profess ill informed positions and spread misinformation. Just like when I am teaching. :) I think it has a chance to be as relevant and change the world like New Coke did. <br /><br />As for this post...you have again lived up to your billing as the "thesis man"...someone able to clearly articulate a jumble of thoughts in a meaningful way. To avoid being redundant I will simply add that the concept of summer is really very important. It allows for a change of perspective and mindset that is both liberating and meaningful. <br /><br /> To make you feel better I will try to continue think of ourselves as completely and totally irrelevant, mirroring the opinions of all influential people in education. I think my opinions serve to keep us grounded and humble (since we author the greatest most amazing life-changing blog ever created). Until TU develops content as poignant and un-annoying as the commercial below, I feel we will simply remain lowly teachers that most of the world looks past most of the time for their views on things. Left to build and forge relationships with those we meet each August and also each year. And I reckon there are far worse fates in the world.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_SwD7RveNERich Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558608666418883974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445182336292537663.post-15097518935221030302011-07-09T00:04:11.116-04:002011-07-09T00:04:11.116-04:00I enjoy your blog.

They endure in the minds of your loyal readers. Keep up what you're doing. Over time people are bound to find a blog that's this good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956056168256756705noreply@blogger.com
