However, your dismissive tone and unsupported claim that this article expresses "a victim's new" is first, incorrect and second, unlikely to help move towards what one assumes you would want: that is a teacher driven process.<br /><br />How is it the analysis of teachers' current status in the process of school reform is "a victim's view?" Some teachers have made themselves into victims. Some teachers do indeed suffer and whine as a result of their own unwillingness or inability to engage in a solution. <br /><br />But, ironically, this blog and this particular article seem to point towards an effort to understand where we are. Seems to me this would be the beginning of what many people need in order to make a teacher owned profession.<br /><br />How do we help those who do not understand the nature of the problem without analysis? How do we help them to understand the nature of the problem without explaining it? If that sounds like a "victim's view" perhaps it is because teachers really are and have been ignored and without a place in the process.<br /><br />Based on a career's worth of experience, we will only be able to move towards where we both want to be by teaching. That is what this article does.David Riemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625331433797169711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-24916984351211436002014-09-27T21:10:13.698-04:002014-09-27T21:10:13.698-04:00This is a victim's view.

Our struggles are so much alike. Thanks for the humorous look at a serious subject.<br />Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901372200126534801noreply@blogger.com
