Hey, Garreth! Thanks for commenting and taking an interest. For me, it’s not necessarily about the individual. I’m interested in how larger systems can curtail and limit the influence of a single teacher (or a single school or an entire district). I can shout as loud as I want. I can teach my heart out and proselytize to anyone and everyone I meet. But in my experience, I can’t make much of a dent in “the bigger picture” of education policy and school discourse. But that doesn’t mean we need to adopt a defeatist attitude or stop fighting. Thanks for your spit and vinegar!
