Very thoughtful, Jennifer. I feel like I have to share mine because it seems to bleed on issue after issue. I know it's not so cool to share right now and it isn't what Jennifer envisioned. but... I am made beyond crazy when "people" consider students (and teachers) as identical clones, then "deliver" programs based on that craziness! My buttons go wild! Then the rest of the house of cards is based on this single silly idea which victimizes so many of us and ours today. Sorry--guess I just couldn't resist going public My button is REALLY hot!!!!!

Let's take a sec to privately consider our hot button issues. We all have the topic or issue that pushes an emotional button. (Mine are Open Court Reading Series and those $&@!! Test Prep books that start appearing this time of year. ) When we see a post that pushes an emotional button, let's stop first and ask some questions. Find out whether a particular vocabulary word means what you think it means. > > Asking questions and explaining our own reasoning seems to help us all get a lot out of our conversation as evidenced by this weekend. > > You guys are the best...
