2. Kick, recommend, and a snippet of what's up at the link...

In a public show of support for teachers at San Mateo County school slighted in the flawed “Waiting for Superman” documentary that offers an incomplete picture of public schools, parents at Woodside High School this week put up a huge banner on a fence in front of the high-achieving campus that praises educators.

The defiant banner reads: “Woodside High School Teachers – Man, You’re Super! Thank you for teaching ALL the students in our community!” It’s prominent and hard to miss by drivers on Woodside Road who pass by the campus, home of the Wildcats, at 199 Churchhill Ave., in Woodside.

More good stuff at the link in the OP.

7. OMG...

...you DID! :7 Me, too. ;)

[Cerridwen]

8. Aren't we just ...what's a good word...?

Evil?

:evilgrin:

Thanks for bringing this here, YvonneCa. The teachers at DU need to know that some of us love us some teachers...and so do some others not on DU.

:yourock:

10. How SWEET! You are so thoughtful and...

...I can't tell you how much I appreciate your words. You rock....

:yourock:




...too!

11. Shhhhhh. You're killin' my 'creds over here. Sweet?

I'm a ball bustin', man hatin', humorless feminist. Geez.

Oh yeah, and this post kicks your OP again. :evilgrin:

Why?

To Mrs. H. - just cuz you were nice to a tiny little girl
To Mrs. C. - you embarrassed the hell out of me, but then you taught me a few words in French
To Mrs. W. - you taught me how to diagram sentences which helped me to understand what was truly said to me.
To Mr. R. - you honored my writing and had me put on my plays. Ooof. Embarrassing and good all at the same time.
To Miss F. - You made goofy into a compliment

And so on and so forth.

13. Okay, I'll behave...

...for a while. Wouldn't want to tarnish a rep... ;)

6. Isn't it? And being on the CTA...

...website is encouraging...a teachers' union that is standing up for teachers. A little bit.;)

9. Every little bit helps. nt

12. Wow, I didn't know they attacked Woodside in WFS.

What an amazing thing the parents did! But WTF, why would someone want to go to a charter and not Woodside High? It's one of the top schools in the nation! I liked my high school but going to Woodside would have been like dying and going to heaven.
