you know, go for a while – then let the second and third string kids play out the rest of the day…

“all the bright places” – ah, billy… my final HS BOB – i don’t say this often – it’s a sad book – and i hate when kids say “sad” b/c they’re typically upset at the book’s ending – they always want happy ever after – and that’s not life often – that said, this is the darkest YA i’ve ever read – and the author has a reason for the book – i don’t think it should’ve been BOB though

“small group communication in context” – i read an old professor of mine’s book – there’s a chance i actually read a version of the book years ago for his class – i was surprised at what i remembered – it was a good read – here’s a fun tip for you: men, young boys even, will interrupt women – even women in positions of authority – but the reverse is seldom true – women will wait for their turn – if you ever notice my classroom, for every 100 boy interruptions – without a hand raise – there will be a female waiting to speak

i have a brilliant creative writing exercise for the detective next week
