I had a pretty awesome lesson (orsoithought) planned out today… we’re reading the memoir ‘A Long Way Gone’, and before we dove right into it I had my students look at the war in Sierra Leone, and do a little research on child soldiers. Then we talked a bit about cartography, how maps become distorted, why we draw maps the way we do….. very cross curricular.

One of my co-workers and myself are so similar its scary. She’s amazing, and we work great together - in one year we’ve started our school’s student run Writing Center and gotten district wide recognition for supporting writing across the curriculum.

Instead of reminding me how I’ll never have anything, be able to afford to go anywhere, or not be ‘owned’ by my debt, why won’t someone tell me how to make it work, or ay least give me an honest picture of what life in a two person family as a teacher is like?
