Did you have an experience or witness something in 2009 which gave you hope for the future of American education? If so, please see <a href="http://myteachermyhero.com/blog/2009/dec/18/ed-bloggers-heres-our-100-gift-you/">this post</a> for more information on how to share it.<br /><br /></b>My wife is a teacher and each day I witness hope for the future of American education in her dedication and commitment to her students and her school. My wife works for a high needs community school by choice. She drives 35 minutes each day to work at this school when she could work at a school within walking distance from our house. She chose this school because she truly wants to make a difference. She puts in countless hours after school to prepare and give her students the best education possible. She is completely committed to her students and her school. Her dedication has given me hope for the future of American education. <b><br /></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8940435805211694038-3436297840828377902?l=tomaswong.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomas Wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10975828817807281727noreply@blogger.com0
