Should Teachers Have Strong Opinions?

This blog post is just what I’ve been thinking.

I sometimes think I need to tame what I say, but I’m just not that kind of person.

But people have opinions. And mine don’t always line up with what my principals, my school board, my superintendent, or even my neighbors think. But as a resident of my community, as a constituent of my elected officials, as a parent, a person, I have mine.
