@dst6n01 I had a math anxiety from mid-4tg grade to the end of 9th. My 10th grade geometry teacher turned that around for me. So when I picked my concentration, I picked math because I knew what it was like to struggle.
#LCSbookclub A7 This book helped me remember we, teachers, adults, mentors ... never truly know what any of our students R going through, what any of our neighbors are going through, parents, Scout friends, grocery packers... We all have hidden challenges we don't show the world
#LCSbookclub A7 not one of us truly Ever Knows what's the other person has gone through, is going through or the support they truly need. Patience. Grace. Love. There is nothing more important
#LCSbookclub A7 although my family did not experience the sickness or health issues, when I grew up we did deal with poverty. I know what it's like to have shoes or a coat given to you. It's touching to always know that others care.
A6 # LCSBOOKCLUB I especially think James character is powerful. Anonymous gifts left at door & 1 time actually caught doing it, brought me to tears. Really shows people U care, you don't have to do it face-to-face. Like Toys for Tots or buying groceries for our Otterbein seniors
A5 #LCSbookclub what is he, 12 years old? He is just waking up understanding world is not just about him. Little bro Levi helped open that door &quickly. He's not stupid-none of his friends have to deal with the sickness of a little brother the way he does, and a father leaving.
#LCSbookclub The journal was definitely an appropriate consequence. Growth and reflection. Great to see his teetering back and forth between anger and understanding. Great to see the relationships develop between himself and the other characters.
Coni, I get what you're saying. it's not quite akin but along the lines of an eye for an eye. Or when a child is brutally murdered and the father executes the Killer in the courtroom hallway.#LCSbookclub
@markgraler A2&A3 #LCSbookclub Very challenging question. Suppose when comes to saving a life, sometimes rules get bent. Societal consequence probably still hold true e.g. going to jail or juvie) yet the perpetrator had the moral feeling that it was the best thing right to bend that law.
