Now that I'm back in the classroom (my choice!) I still recommend asking that question. How CAN you teach kids to love reading if you don't have it yourself? <br /><br />Michelle<br />Columbia City, ORAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503748290690936207.post-61980119351659068382009-08-15T14:53:14.511-04:002009-08-15T14:53:14.511-04:00Sandra,

Thanks to you for taking a stand and caring about what's best for your students as life-long learners.<br /><br />I also linked back to your original post with a few thoughts of my own. My thinking was if a YouTube clip about a very clever wedding entrance could go viral, why not something as important as our children's lives as readers? I felt the need to pass along your message.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549453373381775445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503748290690936207.post-81899844830524123112009-08-14T09:21:30.529-04:002009-08-14T09:21:30.529-04:00Sandra,

I have posted a link to your entry on my Book Whisperer blog. Perhaps your bravery and dedication will inspire other teachers to take a stand and do what we ethically must for children.Donalyn Millerhttp://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/book_whisperer/noreply@blogger.com
