		<description>I have so enjoyed my time on this blog, since &quot;tracking back&quot; your link to mine.  Thank you for making that initial link. 

Your thoughts on where we are and where we are (need to be) going articulate so well, what goes through my own mind.

We live in exciting and daunting times.  We are responsible for preparing students for a future made up entirely of change and more change.  Yet we represent and work among a profession that has not changed much in a long time.  (In fairness, maybe no one has pushed education hard enough before.)

But now we have no choice.  Yet at every turn, we see &lt;a href=&quot;http://dharter.edublogs.org/2007/05/10/my-turn/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;resistance&lt;/a&gt;.  And at the next corner we see hope and inspiration (like coming to this blog).  

Will the collective minds of those that see the need for change be enough?  

Will we speak loudly or clearly or intelligently enough to be heard and to inspire change?  

That remains to be seen.  Maybe it&#039;s a snowball&#039;s chance in hell, but right now, we are rolling together and gathering a pretty BIG snowball...and that gives me hope.</description>
