We must reject the ideology of the "achievement gap" that absolves adults of their responsibility and implies student culpability in continued under-performance. The student achievement gap is merely the effect of a much larger and more debilitating chasm: The Educator Achievement Gap. We must erase the distance between the type of teachers we are, and the type of teachers they need us to be.

For six years, I taught reading and writing to ELL and SpEd students. I stumbled through the job of Athletic Director and continuously hired myself as a basketball coach. I served as union rep and was classified as a TFA Almuni. I earned a Masters in Educational Leadership & Administration, producing a collaborative thesis through a haze of distraction. The writings on this site garnered a certain amount of praise, as well as the ire of District leadership. I am no longer a teacher.

where have you been brunching (now a verb)?
hmm, yeah, I could probably give you a run for your money on #1, and maybe #3, but I totally lose on #2. can I just say that I HATE the last day before going back to school, and that this one is particularly bad?
PHC-
The obvious answer is Boogaloo's, (Val.& 22) but sometimes I am not accessorized enough to wait on the corner. So then the Ebb Tide (the unlikely corner of S.Van Ness & 26) or Atlas (which we've previously discussed). Add in Chava's (Mission & 24) for a little Mexican flair and some machaca con heuvos. As you can see, I roll in the Deep Mission. Not Outer, Deep.
Ms. F:
How is that all the work I was supposed to grade a little at a time is instead completely ungraded? How is it that I allowed this to happen (again)? I give up.
Boogaloo's is my all-time favorite, but the wait makes me crazy. Yum, biscuits & herb gravy.
Try our own St. Francis Old Fashioned Candy Store on 24th & York. Delicious, and milkshakes to boot.
St. Francis, yes indeed. They serve some of the best maccaroni and cheese I have ever eaten.
