Smart List: 60 People Shaping the Future of K-12 Education
Tim Lee works on development at the EAO 50Can. Here he is with a cod he caught off the coast of Iceland. Weighed in at 35lbs. Hard to tell who looks more surprised at the situation, Tim or the fish?
Nice fish!
Hmmmm..
New label…”edu-types”
Show me a pic of a charter school teacher on a weekend fishing trip.
Better yet, how about a charter teacher who is a try-athelete, or a scratch golfer, or top cyclist, or top notch trap shooter. Better yet, how about fly fishing on an Orvis approved ranch in Montana?
Why not?…
It does not fit the image of teachers, or their status, or the respect accorded them. They are supposed to be professional nuns or priests, paid for every soul they save.
Only crazy folks do that job.
I was out at my local Santa Barbara beach for some early morning surf flyfishing. Took two corbina and lost one other.
I did not see a single CHARTER SCHOOL TEACHER.
I guess they are in the coal mine solving the problems of the world under YOUR EXPERT GUIDANCE.
The tug of a fish is a drug.
