I feel like our little blog is floundering so… I decided to add a little more structure. I plan on posting based on categories in the future. My hope is that this will help me to post more useful information on a regular basis. These posts are generally going to be outside of the normal family notes. Just my ramblings.
Monday: Projects. I will post details on any of my little projects. You will likely find everything from home improvement ideas to kids crafts.
Wednesday: Geek speek. I will discuss software and technology.
Friday: Everything else. Cooking, opinions and anything else that doesn’t fit into a neat little category.
Family notes will be posted anytime that we have time.
I also am going to start making notes on my garden, sort of a daily journal. Due to the fact that I assume that this will bore everyone to tears, the posts will not appear on the front page of the blog. I will add a new menu item at the top that will access all of the garden notes.
As you know, my switch from Olentangy Local Schools to Columbus City Schools has been eye-opening. I’ve seen the gap between urban and suburban schools first hand, but seeing the data is still shocking. A student in Columbus City Schools has about half the chance to graduate as students in surrounding school districts. My question is, what is the solution? My students at East High School currently have about a 50% chance of graduating. Why aren’t people screaming about this?
