[quote=Anonymous]I work at the same school as the teacher who said that, and I respect her. She speaks her mind and pushes back when she thinks something isn’t good for students. She has a “reputation” for it, and I’ve been told our principal doesnt really like her. We younger teachers (not new, but not as experienced) are grateful to her for speaking up in general, and many of us think he should listen very closely to what she says instead of listening to someone else in the building who is competitive with her—though I think he’s figured that out in the last year. I’ve felt a change, anyway, and I’m crossing my fingers on that—because the other person kisses up and craps down in the worst most disgusting ways, but she has more “politics” sense than the teacher in this article. Anyway, I doubt a younger or less confident teacher would have spoken on the record about tech in schools, even in this general way. And as teachers like her get fed up and move on, we’re going to lose important voices. I don’t have her guts (which is why I’m here on DCUM and not in the Washington Post speaking up), but I hope I get her guts as I get older. She’s a role model for me, though she doesn’t know it and would probably be surprised to hear me of all people say that. So if you’re reading this, JG, please know that you’re appreciated! Stay fearless! Some of us are watching and learning and quietly encouraging you. [/quote]
