About ShedLightNow

If you are a teacher, perhaps you are feeling angry, frustrated or that something is just plain wrong in your classroom, your school, your district... your life's work. If you are a parent, perhaps you have felt that things have changed with your child's school, teacher, homework or even your own child's emotional status. Trust your instincts - things are wrong. This is NOT just another "phase" in education. The goal of this blog is to inform anyone who is concerned about the current state of education reform. In an effort to educate, ShedLightNow posts information from across the country - and in some cases the globe. Many of the blog entries are reposts, as the information and wording contained within them - should stand alone and speak for themselves. For more background information, journey into the "Mind Map" ...if you dare. Of course, from time to time, a few snarky comments will appear without warning.
