Michelle, you are hereby officially invited to be the first commentator in every one of my threads. I love your posts!

In lieu of copying your entire post and responding with an ITA, I'm just going to nod my head like a bobble head in LA, say thank you, and call out this deliciously awesome bit:

"As for the idea that the science curriculum is cumulative, bah. The sum total of elementary school science could be covered in an afternoon. With a tobogganing break."

I'm also going to add an image of a willful educator taking a kool aid swig from a stainless steel hip flask with an engraving of a windmill on it during an advocacy meeting with parents.
