Just a point to a post that got my mind going the other day (perhaps it is because of the coffee reference).
“Keepin’ it Real” by Aaron @ Teacher In Development. A good read that sets your mind on a track of very interesting poderings…
I have wondered about this analogy in the past in terms of faith and culture, but the tie to educational delivery is dead on.
My question: how do you deliver boutique coffee when the place is lined up out the door? Or, how do you deliver customized learning (what some would call differentiated instruction) when you have 29 + students in one class — and I’m talking private (boutique??) school here, not public.
This has been my frustration for some time. I’m open to your comments or suggestions…

Mr. Nelson,
I’m a graduate student in the U.S. and I’m working on my Masters paper: “How are teachers using blogs in education?”
I would love to send you a brief questionnaire, if you have time to answer it.
If you’re interested please email me at:
