Subversive

I tried in vain to leave a comment on Chellee's blog, Telling Deeds. She is a teacher and she was accused of being "subversive" by a friend recently. I was trying to tell her just how welcome she would be in our little group. We are always the team in the back of the room plotting our escape or venting our displeasure at the way things are being handled. Don't get me wrong, we are also the ones who are first to volunteer to help get things done. We know that it is up to us to take action if we want change, but we get great pleasure out of sitting in the back sniggering into our sleaves and covering our handouts with inappropriate doodles. It's what gets us through the day.

So, Chellee, don't let that student teacher leave you without a good dose of subversiveness! If we're gonna light a fire under public education, we need all the matches we can get. :) And I hope you feel better soon.
