My school wasn't as bad as your sounds, and has improved since the time I arrived, but navigating the gang culture (on top of tribal and school politics) is tough. <br /><br />When I wrote this, I didn't mean to blame the teachers for leaving so much as highlight the way the instability of the system affects the kids. Though I'd also argue that the instability makes it that much harder for teachers, adminstrators, and families dealing with the sytem too. I believe the continued turnover is as much as symptom of the instability as it is the cause of it. <br /><br />For whatever it's worth, I'm loving grad school and am generally happy with my decision. I hear good things from my school, including indications that its on it's way to a more stable environment. Even so, there are still moments when I feel a bit of guilt over my part about taking away a constant from the system.Sarah Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334790599525148331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107548569362263863.post-30913572421708412372010-10-22T16:19:20.773-05:002010-10-22T16:19:20.773-05:00I taught at Hopi 2.5 years and left because the ad...I taught at Hopi 2.5 years and left because the administration couldn't keep the hallways safe. My classroom was in good shape by that time, but step out the door and it was a different story.<br /><br />Once, when a student came bakc from a 20 minute bathroom break, I asked "what's up, the bathroom's right across the hall."<br /><br />He said - Oh I can't use that one - it's for a different gang.<br /><br />Often it's not the teachers' fault they don't stay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107548569362263863.post-38060341739093395192010-06-07T22:06:11.356-05:002010-06-07T22:06:11.356-05:00Thanks for the window idea Danielle.

I wonder how easily we fall into groupthink in the online groups (where we tend to find people who do share certain base ideas). <br /><br />I'm excited to follow-up on the homework posts.

I don't remember which Scandinavian country she was from 15 years ago... Nor her last name... Hmm, by the time I find her you might have moved again.<br /><br /><b>Jackie</b>Totally bizarre how my definition has shifted! I still haven't figured out how to explain it to other people. Trying to explai to college friends that I was on Twitter (so I could stop stalking ya'll) before I was on Facebook was not worth it.<br /><br />~~~<br />Back to packing.
