knowing how to sit in silence.

Not my experience.... never quiet enough to ever hear a thing .... biggest problem in local inner city
is that they will never stop talking. You can't learn if you can't listen; if there is only output, but no
input, you don't learn.

I have had kids act like how they describe, and I teach in an urban district.

Often, the one doing the talking is doing the learning.

behind the times.

43 states at this point have waivers exempting them from NCLB. Exemption is a tool to move Obama's version of education, of teacher and student destruction, forward, because to get those waivers, states have to accept more high-stakes testing.

While the poem is strong and lovely, the dysfunctions aren't going to go away until high-stakes testing deforms do.
