Thank you!

As someone who went to school in the Fort Worth school district this doesn’t surprise me one bit. It is saddening to know, though, that it doesn’t sound as if time has changed rigid attitudes towards the LGBT community.

I remember I had this one awful teacher. Somehow the class started on a discussion about being…

It doesn’t add anything to the conversation and takes away from what’s really important - focusing on the Trump team’s transition to office.

Yes that’s whats so fucked up. Why bring up old news when Trump & CO. are creating legitimate problems? It just doesn’t make sense why they would go after this guy right now.

It definitely feels like one. I get where they are coming from but I can’t seem to scrounge up the indignation they are looking for, it just doesn’t seem relevant.

I dunno if that means I’m biased or willing to overlook parts of people I don’t like....sigh I just don’t know.

Well.....fuck. I wouldn’t have thought of the possibility of a teacher shooting a child out of anger but after watching that video......we are gonna need all the help we can get with 2017.

Oh man I do the bored look so often. I mostly teach elementary and there are a few classes that have that bratty streak in them. So I just stand there at the front staring at the back wall until they are finished. It always works cause they get so weirded out by someone quietly staring at them.

I have a feeling he would just fall asleep. Or somehow completely miss the meaning behind it.

Yeah I realized after I posted my situation is much different. I was just looking for anything that she could have done to stop herself from doing that but you’re right plenty of people manage through difficult situations without resorting to racial slurs.

It’s fun! It’s pretty great with language learning, really opens up a lot of options as far as demonstrations go.

And I read one of your other comments and just wanna say you sound like an amazingly resilient person. I’m glad there are people like you in the classroom. I definitely see how walking out is not the…

Absolutely. I’m sure that’s not the first time she’s yelled at them or done something like that. That’s probably why the kid knew to get his camera out. I remember there was a teacher I had in high school and we had a running tally of any time he said anything misogynistic or went on an anti-LGBT rant. By the end…

Yeah I suppose I am looking at it from my perspective which as a team teacher there is usually someone else in the room.

I’ve thankfully never had a reason to walk out but I’ve had friends who have been in tough situations where they had to leave the room. Most of those instances though there was someone else.

I know people on FB are going to say that those kids were being disrespectful and not behaving but I am sorry, if it is that bad for you then you walk out.

You don’t make the situation worse by screaming racial slurs and threatening them!

If you can’t handle a situation then you freaking leave. And the fact that she…

Here’s what someone who puts others before themselves would do- tour the states that didn’t vote for him and listen to them, try to assuage their fears. At the very least try to create a more positive relationship.

Here’s what a selfish brat like Trump does - only visits the states where he’s sure he’ll receive…

It’s like trying to explain to someone, yes dear 2+2 does indeed equal 4.

‘A fascist without vision.’

Just reading makes me feel sick. That’s such a terrifying prospect and that’s exactly what he is. He wants to be on top but he has no idea how to rule and either Bannon, Pence, or someone far worse is gonna swoop in to ‘show him the way.’

There are not enough stars to give you. Not only are you absolutely correct, I’ve had family members who claim that keeping American intel on lockdown is their biggest priority and biggest complaint about Hillary. A few of them have served in the military so they typically argue the angle, ‘we need a president who…

If I was crafty with photoshop or knew how to draw I would be so on that.

Luke only thought of poor Chibiretseh one other time - on the far moon of Endor. The cute little gurgles and chirps of the Ewok’s language reminded him of his first love, though the memory was bittersweet. When he left to fight his father Luke knew he was doing the right thing. After all he didn’t want Leia and the…

I’m thoroughly enjoying this new canon we’ve created.
