Fighting Back

  So I really enjoyed getting feedback from my first blog entry.  I think it is therapeutic for me and I am going to try to employ this free therapy more often:)

  One of my pet peeves is when people complain about a situation, but do nothing to change the situation they are in.  I have been living my pet peeve for the last few weeks.  I think that all of the hoops that the state is putting teachers through are ridiculous.  When I complain, I either find someone who will join me (we all know that misery loves company) or someone who wants to one up me.  My sister is a pro at that.  You would think that my own sister would support me instead of fight me.  I thought about it and decided that nobody wants to hear me whine and complain. I finally did something instead of complaining.  I wrote a letter to one of our state senators.  Thank you to Mike Roberto and Kevin Wilcox who inspired me to do so.  I am hoping for some sort of response.
  It is not that I am unwilling to change.  I like to change up what I do.  I just think that the changes the state is proposing are not in the best interest of our students.  However, I am a rule follower and will do what I am told.  I am leaving now to go write a SLO....
