This may not be as new to you as it was to me, but either way you should check
out this uplifting video of teacher-performer Taylor Mali describing what
he thinks when people look down on him for being a teacher. It's
aggressive and angry, but full of heart:
"You want to know what I make? I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could." Via Andy Carvin.

I grew up near Roscoe & Halsted in the 1970s, left for college and moved back in 2000, started this blog in 2005 (first on my own, then with Catalyst, and now with ChicagoNow). My dad went to Senn. I went to Near North Montessori and Parker. Since 2006 I've been living in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn -- the Wicker Park of New York City. I have another education blog called This Week In Education that focuses on school reform trends at the national level.
