I made the following comment on BoardBuzz this morning: Yes, school boards are often called on to make tough calls. I just wanted to comment on the quality of this blog. You are blogging about some tough issues and not afraid to take a stand. You cover a wide range of issues and many cause me to pause and think….

I made the following comment on BoardBuzz this morning:

Now I make note of this because I’ve had my ups and downs with school boards over my 20+ year career. Some
board members I’ve respected and appreciated, others shall I say,
we’ve had a prickly past. This is yet one more thing I’ve grown to love
about blogging. BoardBuzz has given me a whole new prospective on
school boards and what they are doing. I really like the wide range of
topics that are covered and the personal touch from the excellent
writers adds so much. They are professional and yes, even prickly at
times. Prickly  in a very good way, I might add. They allow
comments. I
love that! I did find out that they have to be approved by an
administrator but I don’t find that all bad. Those of us in education
know the kind of comments that sometimes can be hurled our way. There
aren’t a whole lot of comments on the blog. I hope that changes. Check
it out. You might want to leave a comment or two. I had posted before
their answer to “Why a weblog for NSBA?”. I’d say they’re definitely getting the job done. Keep it up, BoardBuzz!
