@notheydontcare Too many variables outside the instructors control: student’s sleep the night before, food insecurity, boyfriend/girlfriend problems, work problems, parents fighting, etc.
a teacher on the last day of school had all her senior students sit on the floor for one final story time. she said, “you start kindergarten sitting on a rug… so i thought you should finish the same way.”
then she sat in a chair and read them Oh, the Places You’ll Go.
and i just kept thinking about how beautiful it is when endings are handled with that much intention.
Dear America,
Please stop referring to members of the Senate and House as our “leaders.”
We do NOT answer to them.
They are merely our representatives, and they should be reminded of that fact often, like every damn day!
