PATRIOTS, CARDINALS and PATRICK TILLMAN
OK... I give up!!! I'm stressed. I'm bummed. It is the fourth of July and I have the most appropriate Fourth of July post but I can't get it to work here. It is about authentic patriotism and Patrick Tillman and what educators can learn from him about "intrinsic motivation." I don't know if i can do this... but if you are interested in reading my Fourth of July blog called "Patriot in Cardinal Red" please go to my blog at http://kriley19.wordpress.com/. Let me know what you think.

About Kevin W. Riley
I am now in my 30th year in education-- all in San Diego. Wow! Where did the time go? I have been a coach, classroom teacher, race relations consultant, elementary and high school principal, adjunct professor at the University of San Diego and the executive director of the San Diego County Juvenile Court Schools. For the past eight years I have been the principal of Mueller Charter School in Chula Vista. I am also an author. I wrote "The Lights of El Milagro" as a tribute to our amazing students and an extraordinary group of teachers who simply will not quit until we have discovered the pathway to eliminating the inequities within our school systems.
