“Conferences are a huge tease. They seem to say, “Come over and we can hang out and have a great time. I will show you amazing thing that will revolutionize your classroom” When I get there, they do show me some amazing things. I get very excited at what I see. Then, I realize I can’ have it. My district isn’t set up for this, school policy doesn’t allow for that or my department would burn me in effigy.”

Conferences: What’s the point?
