Chris Proctor has resigned from Westlake High School in response to Texas's unacceptable cuts to its education budget. Thanks to all my colleagues and students for a wonderful two years. I am now living close to San Francisco and working for CK-12, a nonprofit making free open-source textbooks. This is worth doing because it allows teachers, schools,and communities to shape their own teaching materials. It also puts pressure on textbook publishers to demonstrate that their products are worth buying. It's pretty neat stuff but I also miss school life, interacting with students and other teachers every day.
