what do you do?

i have tried to write this post at least 15 times but i can't seem to get my thoughts in order.  i have so much to say but i don't how to get it all out.  do you ever have those moments?  i have decided to make another top ten list for this post.  i know i was supposed to make it friday but i didn't.  i kept trying to write it and well it didn't work so hopefully this time it will. 

10.  i want to eventually work on education policy but i feel like i have so much to learn before i can even think about that.

9.  i think standardized testing is a joke.

8.  i think a day of professional development is a joke.  i think it should be more than just one day a year.  

7.  just because it isn't in your contract doesn't mean you can't help others.

6.  i think that before you teach you must also spend a year in the corporate world.

5.  teachers are people too.

4.  just because i am a new teacher doesn't mean i'm naive.

3.  not all students are created equal.

2. sometimes teachers act worse than students.

1. not all parents are evil.  

what are some things you want to get off your chest?  are you scared to death to share things too?
