It has been over a year since my last post on this blog largely because the QMMACC blog took over my writing/posting time. I had a fabulous year teaching the Queen Mary Multi-Age Cluster Class with a delightful, talented group of grade 6/7 students. The year, the school, the students and the parents were so amazing that I decided to end the formal teaching part of my life on a high note. In August I retired from the Vancouver School Board.
Now is a new and exciting chapter of my life and once again this blog is going to switch gears as I emerge from the cocoon of the treadmill that is middle life: the job, the family/”soccer mom” role, and all that keeps on our on-track-blinders. I was particularly struck last week by Christy Clark’s comment about BC having a thriving middle class that wouldn’t be too interested in the occupy movement. (See “Occupy Vancouver protest won’t be a big deal says BC Premier, CKNW News Talk 980) and have decided that it is definitely time to make sure that my actions are in step with my thinking and my beliefs. Please join me in this.
