Harry Potter and research. (The two are not related.)
Is reading Harry Potter a requirement to receiving my elementary educati0n certificati0n? I have never read it and don't really want to. But I feel like I'll be an irresponsible educator if I don't.
Completely unrelated, my research finally got approved by the research board. After several phone calls and emails to the board from my professor, I received a response saying that my email, (because everything is done through email these days) had gotten buried (aka misplaced) in the inbox, and that is why it took over a month to receive a response, when the usual time in about a week.
I printed out, signed, collated, and stapled 50 permission forms for the pre-schoolers' parents and put them in the pre-schoolers' cubbies this morning. I have already received a few permission forms back. I am kind of amazed that I'm getting theses forms back. I was worried that no one would allow their child to participate. (Not that there is any type of risk or harm at all in the study. I will basically be interviewing the pre-schoolers, and asking them to "write" a few things for me.) Unfortunately, because the approval took so long, I will have to be doing this project simultaneously with my elementary sch0ol observations and teaching. Time-wise, I'm not sure how this all will work out. But it will work out, because it has to.
Despite the time issues, I am really excited to finally be able to do this research, which I began planning nearly two months ago.

It's nice to have you back. I've missed reading your posts.
I hope watching the movies will suffice on the Harry Potter front. Good luck on the research, observation, and teaching.
