The Ottawa situation is unfortunate. I came across numerous pieces of information relating to Ottawa as I searched for historical articles relating to the history of Illinois school strikes. From what I have read, Ottawa teachers seem to be greedy and have accused the board of not bargaining in good faith. It is just another example of how today, strikes hurt families, communities and learning. It was a timely discussion.
The simulation activity continues to be a challenge. The union and board seem to be a little more relaxed in their approach this weekend. Hopefully our discussions will continue towards a win-win solution for all. The process has been rewarding, it also leads me farther from the notion of seeking a superintendency at some point in the future.
The presentations were interesting. It is always interesting to broaden the scope of learning through student presentations. I especially liked Matt's and Derek's research that related to class size and its relationship to student achievement.
Dr. Closen, thanks for the feedback on our papers. I have some APA adjustments ahead of me.
