Ying and Yang...

Writing papers

thinking about how we do our ‘job’ as teachers

wanting to revolutionize the education system now

today

not tomorrow

knowing that change takes time in any institution

hating the fact that I know that fact and still

at the end

realizing that all I can do is take tiny steps

make small ripples in the pond I dwell in

and having to be satisfied that I am doing what I can

while not being able to do want I want…

I hate contradictions…

What a week!!!!

This really has been an incredible week.

The school buses were shut down for two days as we received a huge pile of snow on Monday and Tuesday. Took about another two days to get everything plowed out, dug out, and manageable, just in time for the weather to heat up to about plus 11 by the weekend!!! Now everything is just a running river of melted snow...

Thursday I found myself 10 - 12 stories under the ground in the Rats Nest Cave, near Canmore, Alberta. This is an amazing place, a place one soon won’t forget. Repels of 50-60 feet, twisting chutes that seemed to get thinner as you went further through them, tugging at your harness, slick, long climbs and some of the most powerful scenery I have ever viewed!!! What a day!!! 

It is amazing the education we can provide for our students outside of the curriculum isn't it?

Can hardly wait for the pictures, sure hope they turned out okay!
