I've been wandering the web a lot today.

I saw a piece about a comic book version of Bill Ayers's book To Teach, the journey. I wondered if that was THE Bill Ayers, the person spoken of as a domestic terrorist. Yes, it was and is.
I had no idea of his views on education; I knew he was a professor but hadn't remembered he was a prof of ed.
I was curious about what he had to say about teaching. I was hooked almost immediately. I ordered the book.
I made a screen shot of one of the pictures from the YouTube video on laughing squid.
I had to have the complete book. This picture is going up on the wall in 7-203. This picture communicates why I am suspicious of education matters that are only research based, things that see only numbers but no human faces.

Love it! And yes, it is an act of love.
