Blogging about education from inside the system carries certain career risks. The fact is that education is political. There is therefore nothing to be said, among those things that might be worth saying, that lacks the potential to offend someone. And there are those who hold that the very prospect of anyone being offended (a friend calls it "Portland Nice", by which I take him to mean the local belief that it is better to let your neighbor's dog tinkle on your shoe than to point out that the mangy beast has the manners of a feral pig and the intelligence of a filbert) is a threat to the very fabric of life. So the blog has moved. Again. It is no longer linked to the website that shall not be named, nor are the opinions, aspirations or even the facts of the matter on these posts in any way a reflection of the attitudes, beliefs, or reality of the sponsors of the aforementioned site. Nobody here but us chickens. Really. Just me pecking at the alphabet with an occasional point for punctuation.
