The blogging teacher is apparently not backing down, and is still blogging. Good on her. I'm glad she has other means and doesn't need the job (apparently). Will she start a conversation? I hope so, but I doubt it will make much difference. Still, she is my hero of the week...maybe the year.

excerpt:
"There are serious problems with our education system today - with the way that schools and school district and students and parents take teachers who enter the education field full of life and hope and a desire to change the world and positively impact kids, and beat the life out of them and villainize them and blame them for everything - and those need to be brought to light. If this 'scandal' opens the door for that conversation, so be it. Let that conversation begin. Stay tuned here."
