Larr; A Decent Education. December 18, 2011. This is just the second season that I’ve done any snowshoe running. What got me started with winter trail running was Christopher McDougall’s book, Born to Run. It triggered a long chain of decisions which eventually lead to what might be called a “learning experience” this past September when I ran the Equinox Marathon. The book tells a story about how McDougall learned about a tribe of Indians. Or minimalist running in the running community. Ahh, well ….

I Teach, Therefore I Am. I have strange thoughts at times. I pretend to be smart but really.it's all just a big bag of weird up there. And sometimes, I feel I have to share. *All names have been changed to protect the not so innocent. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Your lack of customer service makes me want to punch a kitten. In the face. Twice. For someone with a forklift license, as well as someone with a license to operate those little flag thingies, we finally got our vanity. Links to this post. Tonig...

Ms. Katie's Ramblings: Teachers: How We Treat Each Other Matters
http://mskatiesramblings.blogspot.com/2015/04/teachers-how-we-treat-each-other-matters.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. Teachers: How We Treat Each Other Matters. Teachers are under attack. We know how our profession is being dismantled, our job protections are being systematically removed, and our working conditions are becoming ever more deplorable.

Frankly, our union has been absolutely consumed by elec...

Ms. Katie's Ramblings: February 2015
http://mskatiesramblings.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. How &*%$ed Up is PARCC! The scheduling alone is proving to be a logistical nightmare. The first "round" of PARCC consists of:. PBA Language Arts (3 Units): 105 minutes, 120 minutes, and 90 minutes. PBA Mathematics (2 units): 120 minutes and 105 minutes. I thank the people who spoke at the ISBE PARCC hearings. EOY Language Arts (2 units): 90 minutes and 90 minutes. EOY Mathematics (2 units): 110 minutes and 105 minutes. How many missed IEP minutes? How much lost instruction?
