Attending that conference yesterday was not only touching because of all the commemoration of my mom, but it also managed to actually be interesting for me, in spite of not being an educator (or educated, for that matter). It can be very easy to be discouraged about the future sometimes, given some of the signs of the times, but knowing there are so many educators out there putting so much thought and effort into how to best serve society and future generations was very heartening.
