27. I feel like running away so I am not sure how much I really rock.

I probably won't, but I really think about it. All of our students have so much to offer and they need all the help they can get. Why can't we appreciate all the different people in this world? When will we learn? We know about multiple intelligences, smaller classes, teaching the 'big' concepts, and making the curriculum meaningful and engaging. Instead, we have to focus on stupid five paragraph essays. I am sick of all of it. And seriously babbling. I have unfriended multiple family members on facebook today and maybe, just maybe, had a little too much wine. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. I have a feeling I won't give a shit about unfriending my stupid family members who were so insulted be my gun control posts. Sigh...
