Sorry that you found my earlier ‘negativity discouraging.’ I try to take a critical perspective regarding current leadership practices without being scornful of the wonderful people that work in schools. If you’re so inclined, I’d love an e-mail from you sometime telling me more about that earlier incident (mcleod@iastate.edu). I’m always looking to grow and improve as a writer/blogger.

Keep up the great work. I know that many of us appreciate all that you do. Hope that we get a chance to meet at NECC.
