James Fabiano's Blog (James Fabiano is the Science Department Chair at Newmarket High School). For the past few years I have been awed the way the teaching profession has evolved. What used to be a student based profession has evolved into an accountability mantra that has forgotten we are dealing with real living children and are responsible for their capacity to become. So, I set up a blog that I would love to have other teachers, parents, students, and any other category of people comment in. Maybe with this mixture of ideas a good template could arise that strengthens our system of education instead of attempting to destroy it. Remember we are all part of the future and that future will be defined by our children. http://fabiano.magic-city-news.com/ (New 12/10/07)
