My New Year's Resolutions

I don't usually make New Year's Resolutions, but was thinking about my professional and blogging life and decided to post a few things I've been thinking about.

  1. Write what I really think.
  2. Be civil and encourage rational conversation, even on the most controversial issues.
  3. Support charter schools and encourage them to be better.
  4. Not support schools just because they are charter schools.
  5. Find ways to locally support students to graduate from high school.
In non-education related areas:

  1. Get involved in local anti-trafficking and anti-slavery organization.
  2. Continue working on Russian and find more ways to support orphans in Russia.
I know that many of you don't care about non-education related activities, but I thought I'd post them just to give you a bit more insight into the things that I care deeply about. Those who need support NEED support. It isn't something just to blog about or lobby about or vote about. It's time to do something.

Happy New Year.
