I never saw the flower or the plant until your picture- thanks.I recall when my folks, "wicked po", got chicory and made coffee by boiling it in water, no percolater and we strained the bitter liquid through our teeth.<br /> I like the analogy. I firmly believe in my heart that there are enough teachers out there with the conviction to grasp those teachable moments in spite of the system's persistent anti intuitive approach. I know Joy was one of those, am convinced that FP is one, and from Joy's sharing about you, know you are too.<br /> I would love a romance novel course from you.You are wicked sensitive and insightful.Berry Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079390231632421561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24029789.post-4048172101289428582009-07-19T13:14:04.064-05:002009-07-19T13:14:04.064-05:00Beautifully played analogy.

Teaching is an amazing thing, but have never understood why it is judged on the success of test scores, not the success of the students.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690597078607161109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24029789.post-48222514083198498912009-07-19T09:44:15.244-05:002009-07-19T09:44:15.244-05:00One of the Lost Boys I taught had been moved from ...One of the Lost Boys I taught had been moved from one state to our state and plopped into his new school the very day we started two weeks of high stakes testing.
