[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 19:53, but not the person you were responding to up thread when you used  the term "catalyst for change".

I apologize for misreading your post as suggesting that you saw your actions as being a "catalyst for change". While I stand by my opinion that you are being taken advantage of, I respect that is your right to do what you think is best. I had trouble with the idea that you might see what you are doing as a wise move to improve education. I don't think it is.

Consider registering at donorschoose to help raise money for the things you need for the classroom. It might help.[/quote]

Thank you for admitting that you misread my statement.

I must ask you, though, if you think I had an epiphany when you stated that I'm being taken advantage of?  I know that; it comes with the territory.  And I'm certainly not being taken advantage of by the children.

You reminded me of one of those talking head consultants when you mentioned improving education.  They can talk all they want, but the bottom line is [i]children don't wait[/i].  I'm not going to deprive them of robust classroom experiences NOW because of a lack of materials.  That's not fair.  A friend of mine who teaches in the Bronx was audited by the IRS because she wrote off classroom materials she purchased as "business expenses."  That's not fair either.  But you do what you gotta do.  [/quote]
