Here's to a sea change back to kids learning and teachers teaching!

I am interested to see how they deal with the testing and the evaluations now.

As I have often said, I am not a teacher but I work in the schools in a related service. It has been devastating to watch the demoralization and abuse of my teacher friends.

Thanks for posting. It's going to be a much better year.
