About Rick
Currently, I’m a Principal for my district’s online high school. This is my 17th year in the education business. I’ve spent most of those years in a high school (9-12) setting as a Teacher (English, Technology, & Newspaper), Administrator, Coach, Technology Coordinator, and database systems administrator. I’ve presented at several professional conferences on technology and educational topics.

Rick,
Love your Blog! My CV could be the same as yours, except that I am working with a K-12 school cooperative implementing online learning and web development. Got referred/linked to your website via Google searching for William Cooks book “Unencorporating Education” just getting started like you and fascinated by the discussions. My coop is also working with the Cambridge Colonial Group which promotes many of Mr. Cook’s books. Thats how I got interested though for many years I have had exactly the same fears, and the blind NCLB push with testing has me more worried for public education than I have ever been in my career! Keep up the discussiions here!!
FYI -I have developed Elearning from about 4 K-12 MN schools to over 45+ that we host and support today. We use mainly open source products (the ones our small schools can afford smile) and would be happy to talk about them if you have questions at another time…) keep up the blog, nice job, great questions.

OK seriously, I searched “standardized tests worth it” for a spark conversation ofr my current issues class and yours was the first link! Cool beans. I was hoping to see more commentary after the conversation, but oh well.
I hope all is well.
