oh, summer....gone, gone, gone. I should be at school today, teaching kids who, for the most part, don't give a great-big-goddamn about learning anything from me....but my spine is acting up. Maybe stress really IS bad for your back....Anyone out there need a really good reading teacher? For students who won't just call me a lot of bad words in Spanish the entire time? The above photo is of Olive and me, enjoying a lazy summer mid-morning visit....I used to teach because I loved seeing kids learn, seeing that lightbulb go off in the head, the excited talking about this or that idea or concept, just getting to know the kids themselves.....Now, I guess I am a teacher because I like summer. How lame.
