This past week was Thanksgiving week! The great thing about Thanksgiving is that we don't just get up and celebrate the day, we have the Thanksgiving hype all week long. It's such a happy week. Yes, we eat but we love being together.
So this past week, I got a new hairstyle. Jessica cut and colored my hair. I really like it. My mom didn't care for it. I think it's funny, because now I look like my two sisters and my mom. They have dark brown hair. Mine was light brown/dark blond. Also, this week, I spent so much time with my fiance that I am still in the clouds. I love him so much. I don't really want to think about how I'm not sure when I'll see him again. We are both very busy.
Today, I substituted. Those middle school kids really let me down. They don't really know anything, it seems. They whine all the time and complain, and one asked today what the constitution is. Maybe they do that to get under my skin. If students today do not even know their basic rights, how will they know when those rights are taken away? Surely the few students here do not reflect every student in the U.S., so hopefully there is hope. Still I can't help but think of a friend who told me that she was a student teacher in a high school where most of the students in the homeroom did not know the entire Pledge of Allegiance. If this is the case with all of our students, then I have seen our future and it is grim- full of leaders who repeat history because they are not informed, who only read or write when they are forced, and who never look beyond the surface of anything or anyone. Lord help us.
