This is for every teacher who refuses to be blamed for the failure of our society to erase poverty and inequality, and refuses to accept assessments, tests and evaluations imposed by those who have contempt for real teaching and learning.

We have now gotten a US Made and Union shop to sell us BAT shirts in all designs at a low cost.
Bumper stickers are coming soon and we hope to add more shirt types (tank, polo) if there is interest in the t-shirts!
As I've been cruising through threads and enjoying reading everyone's introductions, I have realized that I can't and won't remember what each person said about themselves. So I'm wondering, if others recognize this too, maybe each of us who are interested can post basic general info into their "signature" that will appear under each comment you post anywhere.
If interested, and you don't know how to do this, try this:
1. Click on "Profile" in the menu bar above. 2. Click on the "Edit Profile" button on the right. 3. Click on "Personal" (tab). 4. Scroll down to the line under "Signature" and type in your basic info.
As a possible type of example, what I am using there currently is: "K-5 ESL teacher, starting 24th year, in a suburb of Chicago."
Sometimes I find myself wishing I knew this kind of info as I'm reading each post...
Just an idea....

I noticed when Jim put lots of info under his avatar it forces the area where words are posted to be large enough to accommodate it even if the post is actually very short. Takes up more space in a thread that way....
