My virtual hetero-love affair with Valerie Strauss continues...

Even though she didn't write this one, she found it, so I must give her credit for that. I found it very profound and informative.

This one is all her, and it makes perfect sense. I'm all for idealism, but policy makers need to be realistic. Goals set through idealism (and this sounds horrible) based on false evidence (or none at all) will only result in failure.

Also, kids were hopped on on sugar and crazier than usual yesterday. The English teacher I subbed for had them use Valentine's heart candy messages to write couplets. It was a creative lesson plan, but did not help assuage the sugar high. Oh well. Today seems more mellow.
