		<description><![CDATA[I followed a thread yesterday on Twitter about whether or not to call teachers by their first names.  I&#8217;m a firm believer in first names for everyone &#8212; kids and adults alike, with the exception to that rule being &#8220;call the person what they wish to be called.&#8221; When I was a teacher, I went [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome back to IComLeavWe. It stands for International Comment Leaving Week, but if you say it aloud, doesn’t it sounds like “I come; [but] leave [as a] we”? And that’s sort of the point. Blogging is a conversation and comments should be honoured and encouraged. I like to say that comments are the new hug–a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been having kindergarten nightmares. I know I&#8217;m supposed to leave those types of dreams to the kids and instead have more adult-themed nightmares.  You know, like how they get to be chased by furry monsters in their nightmares and I get to be chased by axe-murderers in my nightmares.  Grown-up nightmares about grown-up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know, infertile women and men of America, the whole reason you&#8217;re not having a baby isn&#8217;t because you have a uterine malformation or clotting disorder. It&#8217;s not because you have a non-existent sperm count because you were born without vas deferens. The real reason you&#8217;re infertile is because you&#8217;re not relaxing enough. You can [...]]]></description>

And yes, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
