My Visit to San Francisco

I spent MEA weekend in San Francisco where, among other things, I visited a private high school in a wealthy suburb. Of course the school is well-funded, the teachers are well-supported, and the students are bright and eager. But, you know, we have some pretty amazing teachers at our school, and some bright, eager students, and there are some very wonderful things happening right here. It's always interesting to get away and to see things from a different perspective, and I was able to take some ideas away that I can use in my own work. So all things considered, it was a successful visit.
