You can always tell when school is about ready to start. The back to school ads start, you can't avoid the school supply section at Target or Walmart, and for those on pinterest the school pinning is on overload.
I always look at all the teacher blogs that are pinned. With pictures of a perfectly decorated classroom that is theme based. Where do these teachers find the time to do this? Let alone maintain a blog about it? It opens the question of "The Culture of Cute in the Classroom" which has evidently become a hot topic in education. Jean Ann and I have debated it and in our humble opinions (and a combined 53 years experience) say it depends on the teacher. If having a "cute" classroom invigorates the teacher...then go for it!
What's your opinion?
