It's been nearly 5 years since I wrote my post about leaving the DOE. The post seemed to hit home with a lot of people--educators and non-educators alike. It was reposted, with my permission, on a number of social media pages, shared in a class at FHS and even reprinted in a small independent newspaper column. Essentially, I created a post that I didn't think I would ever be able to top.
So I stopped writing.
I kept revisiting this blog though; reading the posts and comments and reliving the memories that came along with it. Doing so reminded me of why I started the blog to begin with--to express my POV and to preserve some of my thoughts. Future posts may not have the impact the DOE letter did but that's not the point, is it?
Maybe it's time to start writing again.
