Educator Message Boards?

I'm sure that someone here can help me out on this one. I'm looking for good message boards for educators (like, Barbelith quality, if possible), preferably (although certainly not exclusively) based in the U.S. I'd like to get a feel for current issues/problems in the educational field from the perspectives of teachers and, if message boards of this kind exist, they would seem like a good place to start. Thanks.

I'll give it a *bump*, but I don't think it's going to matter...

The many and various Times Educational Supplement forums often contain interesting stuff, though they can also degenerate into general whining.

Thanks. It looks like there's some pretty good stuff on there. The reason I was looking for a US site, though, is that US and UK education are rather different creatures, especially in terms of infrastructure. I'm particularly interested in finding a forum for US educators where one can speak about educational issues w/o fear of reprisal. I'm studying to be a teacher and I'd like to get a better feel for problems in the field, particularly w/r/t school funding, school choice, tracking, etc.

Anyone else?

(There aren't many/any other educators on the board, are there?)
