Yes, it has been a while. I am making sense of a new educational context and continue to bump up against old barriers that are mostly constructed in the minds of educators.

Like, making excuses for not working with teachers or administrators or parents because "they are not willing to change" or "they are under so much pressure and won't try anything different." Seems to me, this is a reproduction of the deficit perspective we attribute to them in explaining low expectations and poor student achievement.

Seems to me, if we are educators with an interest in making schools better, we need to walk the walk.
