  enjoyed your post…I agree 100% that the culture of our schools must be addressed in order to truly address students learning (what really matters) and test scores (what matters to those outside of education). I also agree that smaller class sizes are important, but I wonder what you really think should be done to change school culture? I think the majority of the changes must be done within schools, and the blame doesn’t lie in funding or in financing, but in school discipline plans. I am certainly working in a difficult environment, but a friend just introduced me to http://www.pbis.org/main.htm which has to do w/ promoting positive behavior. What we need are positive approaches in our school. Hope you get some more posts…my blog is http://www.xanga.com/dansjournal
