Good luck to everyone tomorrow--

I'm not much of a writer, but I just wanted to say how much I cherish the bonds and friendships I've made in this group over the last four years, between DU2 and DU3.

Talking to everyone about what is going on in education across the US in our respective areas has kept me sane(ish) and politically aware.

We've had some bruising battles in the last few years, and the triumphs seem few and far between sometimes--but it's great to know that there are so many great teachers out there, fighting for kids, public schooling, and keeping encroaching corporate influence out of our democratic school system.

I don't know what the outcome of our various political battle fronts will be tomorrow, but I just wanted to let you all know that it is this community especially that helps make the dark days a little clearer.

...for those of us involved in the issues around education. Let's hope the days begin to brighten a little after this election is over.
