scott smith posted a discussionTravon Martin and Demise of Critical Thinking
Is the Trayvon Martin case something that is being discussed in your classroom(s), or in your homes? I have been paying a lot of attention to this story, for several reasons, including that Sanford, Florida is my hometown. I wasn't there all that long, I went to high school there and lived there for a short time after college. My parents lived there until their deaths, so I went back often. …See More

Here I Am Again
Hi all,
I hope everybody is well.
The title of my post is a double-entendre referring to:
I hope everybody is well.
The title of my post is a double-entendre referring to:
- My return to Fireside after a hiatus
- Once again working on a behavioral plan for my son
- As you may recall, I had written some time ago about some of the challenges we had faced with my son at home, for a brief period, and at pre-school over longer term. As I described in my previous…

35 hours and counting
This post's title refers to my classroom experience to date.
I am something of an interloper here in that I have not logged the hours teaching that many of you have. The following paragraphs provide a brief narrative of my first foray into the classroom and my attempts to tackle the at-school behavioral problems of a child, who happens to be my own.
I am currently between jobs and I have been volunteering at my son's pre-school. This is a late-fours and early-fives mix of… Continue

Hi Scott--
How are you doing? How's the weather out your way? Here it's icy. The driving is not so good. But running over the snow-and-ice fields is a pretty darn good workout. Right after my run today I drove to town (where I haven't been for a while), and am now trying to remember how to use a "regular" computer. (Been on an iPad for two weeks. I keep trying to touch the screen, not good.)
Happy New Year!

- Hi Scott,
That is fascinating--I love the note about how the invitation came to you, my neighbor, all the way from Israel--yes, borderless. I'm fascinated with the power of reflecting upon education (and life) across and through what were previously thought of as Great Divides.
Where are you in Michigan? I live halfway between Manchester and Chelsea, out in the country.
