No wonder education blogs are read with such alacrity that you end up giving them the attention of a sincere student. The policy analysis and lively debates require an attitude like that. But we must not forget the softer side of education too. Blogs are not only the source of the latest in education but are also a meeting point where educators can discuss the trials of day-to-day life. A journal called Bluebird’s Classroom caters to that sentiment. Authored by a middle school science teacher, it is full of human-interest stories found within a classroom.
A teacher shares the worst part of having students in the room. “They remind me of my own kids and how much I am missing out on their lives as I continue teaching these li’l ones here,” she shares. The teacher running a Military Support Group tells another story that strikes a cord. She along with her colleagues provides moments of relief and peace to those kids whose parents are deployed. I’m sure you’d agree Bluebird’s Classroom is indeed a very cool effort.
