six word Saturday



On the Internet? Must be true!

My students crack me up.

One told me today that the Ku Klux Klan has a petition on the internet to allow them to purge African Americans and had gotten 2 million signatures.

So I said, they don't KNOW 2 million people.

Oh, no, they had heard it on the news (mind you, not CNN CBS or any other name you would recognize).

Oh, so it is on the Internet so it must be true. He's a French Model!

It is a hoax.

But I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

Because of you I didn't quit.



I know this has been true for some students that I hold in a special place in my heart.

The boy who could have been a drop-out - that was the direction he was headed in. Currently he is being a success on so many levels in college. Or the girl who did drop out but got her GED and is also attending college.

The ones who eat at me are the ones who slip away, where I don't make a connection or a change. The student who was suspended from school the first day, the student who skipped class and ignored the state requirements so he didn't graduate. I wanted to help them also.

Have not run the air conditioner!

It has been so cool this summer that we have yet to turn on the air conditioner. So, we have saved on electricity (yes!) and had fresh air.

I am loving it! I hope August continues this trend.
