She also wrote MUCH more and quite eloquently, so much so that I wouldn't 
presume to try to do a better job.  I completely concur with her 
description of our jobs.

I do know that fixed schedules as well as other demands/duties assigned in 
the school can limit what our colleagues are able to do.  But I would 
advise never to stop holding Diane's description of the job as a goal and 
an intention.

Best,
Toni
