I found 5 freedoms when searching for Robyn Pretlow, who was a co-presenter at the Coalition of Schools' Fall Forum of a session on interrupting the trend of boys of color being sent to jail in disproportionate numbers. I stumbled on her on your the site and liked what I saw. I am not very savvy with social networking sites yet, so I am still getting oriented to how things like this work. I appreciate your personal shout out and look forward to opportunities to participate and learn from this group. Yours in the struggle,

As for J. California Cooper, starting with "Life is Short But Wide" is a great decision. Love the title - it's become a mantra!
thanks for the message-- yes, all's well, and thanks for taking a look at the website. I'm in the process of getting a handle on all these online communities I'm a part of, so it's good to be reminded about this network as well.
take care and happy new year!

I really just stumbled into this site... do not know anyone here and find it to be very interesting so far. I am familiar with 4 MAT and glad to hear that you too enjoy Rumi... as i have gotten older i have found poetry speaking to me a bit more.
Look forward to spending time here....
thanks again.... mike
Thank you very much for your welcome! I am excited to be a member. Mike Hardy from State College made me aware of the network. I am looking forward to great discourse with my colleagues around the globe.
Everything is going great. We have a lot to do in the beginning of the school year. We do not stop working in the precence as well as planning for the years to come. I hope you are doing well and can not wait to speak with you.
I was found by Rebekah Lewis through the Louisiana Republican Network and invited to join her .ning site called, "Teachers Taking Control". It was much like this one with the focus being improvements in education, and likewise, had a following that extended around the globe. The discussions gravitated toward politics as well, but I do not find that surprising. I'm sure that if you were to take a good look around the room you are in as you read this, you would soon realize that you are unable to find anything that is not governed by politics. Her site quickly became one of my favorites. It wasn't just a site where everyone could rant, but often, ideas and solutions were offered. I also made new friends there and hopefully will be able to stay in touch. Apparently, it no longer exist. I'm not sure what happened with Bekah, but I do know she is quite busy, and I was always surprised she could find the time to administer it. I googled her name to rule out my computer as the source of the problem and found this site through her.
Most recently, I was involved with an ongoing discussion concerning the First Amendment with a gentleman who is a U.N. Advisor on Global Education, and without doubt, holds views in that regard contrary to my own. I discussed at length Thomas Jefferson and his letter to the Danbury Baptist, and many other significant historical moments regarding the First Amendment, including funding issues, and more. The First Amendment contains two of our most fundamental rights guaranteed us in this country, and without them, we would not, nor will we continue, to enjoy freedom. I look forward to expounding on this issue and many more.
