I'd like to teach the world...

I normally don't ask my readers to do anything for me. This is mostly because it's pretty much my mom and dad and the occasional passerby, forcing me to reconcile that I don't actually have readers. I'm not even convinced my parents are clicking in.

Is anybody out there? If you are, PLEASE vote for the education idea in Google's 10 to the 100 contest. It's a very exciting concept, with enormous potential to begin to change this outdated and outmoded system we call public education.

I don't say that lightly, and I'll continue to fight the good fight. But if Google can lend its Google-self and its Google-bucks, then please just click for education.

May the best teachers meet in a virtual school one day soon, and may they let me write about it. (Mom, I'll explain later.)

Just wanted to let you know, I check your blog daily :-)

I can't promise I check this blog daily - but I do check in from time to time, and now I just want to see how things are going in Spain!

And Katie - You might have missed your calling in creative writing - come teach my English 10 students how to "show" instead of "tell" next time you are in town?
