Superman is Fictional

I am not waiting for Superman. 
I am also not Superman.
Despite a weakness for Dean Cain’s portrayal in the 90’s show Lois and Clark, I don’t expect to see him flying to my window any time soon. 
But I’ve been told that the hero exists, and he (or she) will save us all.
Maybe I’m jaded, but I refuse the idea that there is a single answer to “the problem of education” in the United States. 
It’s time to stop looking for capes.  And time to start talking to one another.  About what we value.  About what it means to have high expectations for students.  About what learning is and can be.  About why we do what we do.  And about how we can help each other, our students, our districts…
More thoughts to come, but what do you think?
