I’m not an English teacher so I don’t have to worry about teaching my students how to read my content area text. That’s an English teacher’s job. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
I am centered.
I am strong.
I am kind.
I am smart.
I am enough.
I am present.
And I am also eating that free breakfast for educators from McDonald's for the fifth day in a row.

You want to know what a bunch of kids put for their goals?
Get good grades.
You want to know what not a single person put once?
Learn.

“what struck me most about those who rioted was how long they waited. the restraint they showed. not the spontaneity, the restraint. they waited and waited for justice. and it didn’t come. no one talks about that...” - Toni Morrison
