Everyone

To build upon yesterday (when I wrote that everyone makes mistakes), let's take a look at the warm-up from yesterday. The picture offered a genuine mystery, with the photographer leaving little information and no caption to help us identify what is truly going on. Click here to access the explanation on the NYT website. It's okay to be wrong. I was wrong about the picture, but I've learned something from the experience and the process and look forward to getting to use that knowledge and experience in the future.

On another note, this article struck me, especially where the author claimed that "..the income gap is an outgrowth, at least in part, of the education gap." It's just one more example of how all of us have something to gain from an educational system that serves all students and sets and maintains high expectations for all... that includes teachers, parents, administrators and community organizations as well. Since we all have something to gain, it would make sense that we would all work together to improve the opportunities for future generations. Click here for the full article.


This picture has nothing to do with anything, other than it looked pretty awesome and was a welcomed site after living in complete darkness all of last weekend... (see what I did there, Dave?)
