An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.

About Me
- marybeth
- Since 1987, I've taught high school in the inner-city public schools of Cleveland, Ohio. The Cleveland Municipal School District is a system fraught with the challenges inherent to a large district and an impoverished city. I am publishing this journal in response to those who are quick to criticize "those lazy, greedy, teachers". I offer you a glimpse into my world. I have always been a student of behavior. As a child, I would tame wild creatures and befriend strays. When I grew up, my natural empathy helped me become adept at observing, understanding and predicting human behavior, as well as discovering and studying what inspires and motivates people. Especially fascinating, are relationships; who we choose to associate with, and why; how we interact with one another, and how we affect each others lives.

Hope your summer is going well so far. I was curious to hear your thoughts on this "charm school" idea Cleve. Hts. is throwing around, even though I think I know how you'll respond. A "dangerous" idea?
I'll take the bait.
Thanks, I've been in a bit of a writing slump... even feeling a litle guilty for not keeping up with this site.
Questions will always spark my enthusiasm, especially when the topic is controversial.
I will post my response to the "charm school" idea for Section 8 renters in Cleveland Heights later today.
