NYC Educator tagged me.

First, a rant. I hate being tagged. I publish my blog openly. I use my real name. I share my views and encourage readers to read the views of others. That should be enough.

But OK. One more time and that’s it. And I’m not tagging anyone else.

Those are my rules.

Here are the others:

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
