Comment on Highly Ineffective…Driver? by Cindy McMillion

That is EXACTLY the way I felt as a classroom teacher: always being pressured to sacrifice the really important things in the gritted-teeth quest for high TCAP scores. When I think back on my own education, the things that influenced me to become a lifelong learner were more often than not those moments when the teacher went “off-script.”

Tim,
What a GREAT analogy! As far as I’m concerned – as a driver and educator I think I gain the most when I’m arriving later than expected. And I think that my students benefit from those ‘detours’.

Thank you for your kind note! And the Twitter re-tweet! I am also trying to do a better job of posting comments on blog rather than just a comment on Twitter or Facebook. Glad to see we are in the same boat!

Tim, thank you for this post! I can relate and appreciate your thoughtful writing. Patience and focus are my take aways. Two things I know, but don’t always do. Your photos show you’ve got those down.
On a second note, I follow much of what you write & share, and I want to say THANK YOU. One of my goals for 2012 is to actually comment on the blogs I do read instead of commenting on Twitter or sharing them in trainings I do. So I am committing to that, but also just want to say I appreciate the time and effort it takes to share a blog post. Have a great time at FETC!

This post made me cry. It is exactly where I need to be. Breathe in. Breathe out. Be still and listen.

I hope you enjoy your hiking club. My hubby and Iove it. We love it for the exercise, getting close to nature and the socializing. We have belonged to ours for over 20 years. We have made lifelong friends and learned so much from those with more experience (our oldest hiker in the club is 93!)

“The Year of Tim…” I like that. As I get out and about this year, I will make sure Columbia is on my list of places to go. I had a blast there last time…. lol

Your “resolutions” are wonderful. I have to say that is it the Year of Tim. Make it all you can. I am still feeling out my resolutions… I am know I am definitely working toward living a more simple life, loving my family as we blend, and growing in all ways except wider or taller. LOL Happy New Years! Remember I always have a place for you to stay if you need a photography excursion.
