This past week was a three day week leading up to a four day break for our "Spring Break". We get out May 18th so we have a shortened vacation which is fine by me! I decided to show my sophomores and juniors "La Bamba." They had never heard of it. It got me thinking. My students haven't heard of a lot of movies that defined MY life as well as the lives of my friends. I started making a list and some of these, well it's pretty sad they might never see them:
-Platoon
-Blue Velvet
-Good Morning Vietnam
-Edward Scissorhands
-The Princess Bride
-The Big Chill
-Fast Times at Ridgemont High
-Terms of Endearment
-Rain Man
-Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
-When Harry Met Sally
-A Fish Called Wanda
-Driving Miss Daisy
-Bull Durham
-Moonstruck
-Pulp Fiction
-Dances with Wolves
-Usual Suspects
-The Big Lebowski
-The English Patient
-Good Will Hunting
-Fight Club
-Philadelphia
-Scent of a Woman
-As Good As it Gets
-Clerks
-What's Eating Gilbert Grape
-Reality Bites
-American Beauty
-Steel Magnolias
-Clueless
-Cruel Intentions
-Beetle Juice
-Heathers
-Cocoon
-The Never Ending Story
-Encino Man
-Benny and Joon
-Trainspotting
I could go on and on. Anyone have one to add to the list?

Double Standards in Education and the fear of being PC
I had an outstanding conversation with a friend last night on the phone who called to ask my "educational expertise" about something that happened in her daughter's 2nd grade classroom the other day. I've really been reflecting on the subject and I thought I'd throw it out here for maybe something to ponder or to add your two cents, since I'm giving mine.
My friend, we'll call her "Jen" posted on facebook the other night about her daughter needing prayer for the following school day and a comment was made about "kids can be so mean." Jen is a dear dear friend of mine. I was a bride's maid in her wedding, we went to high school and college together and she is probably the best mother I've witnessed in a long time. She has three awesome kids who I love to bits (Not usually a fan of the little ones). Love her husband. They're an awesome family. Jen and her husband have taught their children morals, values, kindness toward others, and the importance of God in their lives. If I have a family someday I hope them to be even half as great as they are. You get my picture.
Jen's daughter (her oldest) was assigned to do a biographical oral presentation of someone. When I heard the assignment I instantly thought of JFK, or Helen Keller or someone significant in history. Aparently Justin Bieber, Kelly Clarkson and Lady GaGa were some of the most popular choices. Go figure. Just as Jen and I had done as kids, her daughter had recently started to read the Laura Ingalls Wilder "Little House on the Prairie" books. This clever little 2nd grader got all dressed up in prairie style clothes and did her presentation on Ingalls-Wilder in front of the class.
Let's digress for a moment. This is a very diverse second grade classroom. There are children who are Christian, Jewish, Muslim etc. One of these students is friends with Jen's daughter. He is Muslim and he has stated to her several times that he "doesn't believe in God." Jen's kids are very involved in church and love the Lord. One of the requirements for the presentation was to tell what they learned from this person who they were speaking about. This little girl was so nervous about offending her Muslim friend that when she addressed that requirement she looked at her friend first and said "I know you don't believe in God but..." and then she continued to talk about how she learned from Ingalls Wilder the importance of family and of God in their lives.
As an educator as well as a person who celebrates diversity and feels that we should no hold prejudices against people for religious beliefs, color of their skin or who they love, I thought she handled this beautifully. I have friends who are not Christians and if I reference something from my religion to friends who don't hold the same beliefs as I do, I would probably preface the conversation the same way.
Well, the young teacher in this classroom (maybe 2 years of experience so she's still learning. Heck I'm on year number 12 and I am still learning) was pretty ticked off at my friend's daughter. She sent a scathing e mail to Jen telling her how she needed to "talk to her daughter" about what she talks about in the classroom and to not single kids out and embarrass them in front of her peers.
There is so much of this situation that I don't agree with. First of all, if Jen's daughter were to have done her presentation on the Dali Lama and referenced that some kids in the class aren't Buddhist and may not believe in his teaching I don't think there would have been a problem. Same goes with Gandhi. If a student would have reported about Matisyahu who is a musician that is an Hasidic Jew and references his faith in some songs (If you've never listened to him, he's great. "King Without A Crown" and "One Day" are great songs) I doubt there would have been a problem. My question is this: Was the teacher upset about how she addressed her classmate (even though he had been very open about his beliefs and religion and all the kids knew about it) or was the teacher so worried about being "Politically Correct" and freaked out at the word "Jesus."?
These days we can't even mention the word "Christmas" in our public schools. Some think this is an atrocity considering this country was founded by Christian men. I have a dear friend who is Jewish and she started telling me about how sensitive she was to the whole "Christmas" thing in schools yet Hanukah was never mentioned and how receiving a Christmas card from our superintendent was kind of ignorant on the part of the district considering everyone is a Christian and celebrates Christmas (which she and her family do not). When you hear this argument from the "other side of the table" it makes sense. We're not all alike. We come from different backgrounds, different religious beliefs and one belief isn't "better" than the other. Whether you believe in God, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus etc. the main tie in for all religions is FAITH. My idea of God might not be Jen's idea of God and we're both Christian. We can't talk about the religious significance of Christmas in our public schools BUT the friend of Jen's daughter, his mother came into school in December and taught the kids all about Kwanza and Ramadan etc. I think that's awesome. They only way we are going to get rid of hate is to fight the ignorance that makes people hate in the first place. I grew up with Muslim friends. I remember going over to one friend's house during Ramadan and eating some of the best food I ever had with his family once the sun set. I learned so much from those experiences at his house. My Jewish friend I mentioned earlier. I pick her brain about Passover, Rosh Hashanah etc because I want to understand it. In my opinion, if one religion is presented at a public school to children, all religions have a right to be represented. My friend did not complain about the Muslim mother coming in to educate children on her family's culture and religious beliefs, but if Christianity is brought up it's a big no no and the ACLU gets involved. I just don't get it.
I could go on and on. But I'll save it for a later post. What do you think? Opinions? I'd love to hear them so I can be more knowledgeable because, I believe, the truly educated never graduate~
Peace.
PS. I’m attaching the video of Matisyahu’s song “One Day” I think it really relates to this conversation. Hope you like it as much as I do!

It's Something In the Water
After seven LONG months of getting my internet from my blackberry, I FINALLY have internet at home so I can start blogging again. Cause I know you've missed me.
For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you've probably seen my posts about all the pregnant girls at the school where I teach. I am gobsmacked. I can't believe the number. We have 1 freshman, 5 sophomores, 1 junior and a senior pregnant (Not to mention two teachers). I'm guessing it is wrong for me to believe that all 8 girls missed that day of Health class??
Two of these girls I have in class. I guess I just invest in these kids and I have an idea of a standard that they should maintain and when stuff like this happens, I feel bad for the girl, but most of all I'm just disappointed.
Five sophomores! FIVE. That means that they'll be mothers before they can legally drive!!! To expect teenagers to abstain from sex is just unrealistic. They're going to do it if they want to or not, the least we can do is give them knowledge and tools to protect themselves from disease and unwanted pregnancy. I know this would NEVER happen, but in my perfect world we'd have condom dispensers in the bathrooms just like the tampon dispensers in the ladies room. These kids are too embarrassed to go to the store and buy condoms. They're going to believe any old wives tale or urban myth about how NOT to get pregnant before they dare embarrass themselves (We're talking about teenagers here).
We also need to teach our girls that they have the right to demand that their boyfriends use protection. No glove, no love should be their mantra. I mean these 5 sophomores are going to be 30 with a 15 year old child! We need to provide our kids with all the options out there: adoption, abortion, etc. (even though a lot of people don't believe in abortion they still have a right to know about it).
With 8 girls pregnant our society is doing SOMETHING wrong. Heads need to be pulled out of the sand and we must except that things are going to happen. You can't scare kids out of having sex. It's just not going to happen.
In the meantime, I'm going to be drinking bottled water until this "trend" has passed.
Happy to be back!

It's Baaaaaaaaaack!
The new school year is back. If my calculations are correct (and they probably aren't because you all know by now I'm too pretty to do math) this will be my 28th first day of school in my life. You would think I would have the hang of it by now.
Having moved out of state to be closer to family I had the daunting task of finding a place to live. I went and looked at houses with realtors and used Craig's List as another source and as of Tuesday I had no place to live and was facing a 90 minute commute each way to and from the Ps house where I would have to stay. God bless the people at my school. Through the guidance counselor making a few calls I was put in touch with an English teacher who happened to have a house for rent. I pulled into the driveway to see it and I was sold already. Beautiful 2,000 square foot home with a full basement, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a dog run in the back yard, fireplace I could go on and on. It's on a country road that is hardly paved and besides all the corn and soybean fields there are only 3 other houses on my road. It's straight up country. As a matter of fact I made my first ever purchase from Tractor Supply yesterday. Big change from the city girl I was for 10 years but I'm looking forward to the tranquility and peacefulness of the country. I'm not going to lie though, every time I look out the kitchen to the cornfield that borders my backyard, I half expect Ray Leota to come out of the corn and want me to play catch with him. When I start hearing the "if you build it he will come" voice I know I'm in trouble.
I'm looking forward to a great year with great stories to tell all of you! Keep your fingers crossed for me on Monday!
Ready or not, here I go.....

Have no fear!
Apparently there have been worries that I would stop blogging if, after my move, I decided to go into a profession other than teaching or God forbid I not find a job. I've had several people ask me "Have you written anything new on your blog?" It's summer guys! I'm working on my tan, going on interviews! There's really not much I would have to write about.
So to set all your minds at ease, I wanted you all to know I will be teaching again this fall! More stories! This shall begin around the middle of August. So check back for what I'm sure will be yet another interesting year in my classroom!

"Get Well Soon" As Communicated by My Students
On Thursday the 24th of March I was sent to the emergency room towards the end of the school day because of my high heart rate (156 resting!) and my blood pressure was abnormally high as well. My fantastic department head sat with me in the hospital until my mother drove 5 hours to be by my side. They gave me a shot that the doctor said could "drug a horse" and I sat there still a ball full on nervous energy. The doctor was amazed. This was the same medication I had been prescribed a week earlier for my anxiety. Long story short I was admitted to the hospital and I spent 4 days there and came home with a whole bunch of meds that I never thought I'd be taking until I was way past 40 and the realization that teaching almost killed me.
I left the hospital on Sunday evening. Monday evening when I went to take the dogs out, in my mailbox were about 80 pieces of construction paper made into get well cards for me. The next day I received 2 big cards from two of my other classes and even one from the German class! They were all sweet cards and I wanted to share with you some of the better ones. I must preface this by telling you the rumor around school is I had a heart attack and the kids think they did it to me. So here are some of the better quotes from the several cards I received:
-Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Glad you're not dead, Victor and I made this card for you!
-Ms. N,
When I heard you had a heart attack I panicked. I thought you were being lazy and didn't want to deal with us on Friday but I was wrong....
-Ms. N..
Just because I sit in the back of class and don't pay attention (usually I sleep) does not mean I don't care. Get well soon.
-Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, You had a heart attack and we miss you!
-Dear Ms. N.,
Last Friday I thought you were taking a three day weekend. Little did I know you went through cardiac arrest. I feel extremely bad for you and I hope you get better soon.
Ms N.- Get well soon and don't forget to take your medicine
-Hope you get some rest Ms. N. I know I need some.
-Get well soon. Have good health. Sorry that I've been such a little shit.
-I hope your heart gets happy again and doesn't blow up. I love you (This one was from Tyler with an i and in the shape of a heart).
-Ms. N. get back soon so we can talk March Madness some more.
-Ms. N. I didn't think our class was bad enough to give you heart problems!
Ms. N. I think when you come back we should have a fiesta to celebrate your buena salud (good health). I know I'm your favorite student. I also know where you live.
...my grandma has had major heart problems for two years now. I don't know how it feels but I do know the dangers of it...but I'm glad you are okay.
I'll bet 95% of them were signed "your favorite student". Some didn't even have names on them...just that. It's nice to know that in the self centered, socially guarded minds of my students that even though they act like big turds sometimes....that they care.
I hope you enjoyed those as much as I did!

"Firsts" and I Hope A "Never Again".
The teaching profession is full of firsts. First time you make a kid cry, first kid you fail. First freshmen you see through to graduation, you're first drink with a freshly 21 year old former student who you remember quite well as a 15 year old high school freshman. There are also unfortunately some "firsts" that you hope are "Never Agains". For as many awesome "Firsts" that I've had, I've had "Firsts but hopefully never agains". I won't go into the details of the "Never Agains" that I have experienced because it's depressing stuff and I just don't want to go there. This weekend I experienced a "First" and a "Hopefully Never Again."
I woke on Friday morning to the news of the earthquake/tsunami in Japan. I sat in horror as I watched the news and the only thing I could think of was "Zack". My first year of teaching in rural Indiana I had the most awesome group of kids, when I left I cried. With the wonders of social networking I managed to keep in touch with a few of them who are now wonderful young men and women. One of these students is Zack. He was one of the most talented, enthusiastic, shining stars I ever had the pleasure to teach. If you are a teacher you know the kind of kids that make you happy you chose a career in education? That's him. We Facebook chat once in a while and I was so excited for him when he announced he would be teaching English in Japan. I've followed his journey via Facebook and when I heard of all the disaster in Japan I automatically thought of him and his safety. So for the entire day Friday I sat vigil over Facebook waiting for some message from someone that he was okay. I e mailed members of his family asking for news and they knew as much as I did. I can't count how many times I checked my e mail and refreshed my browser and PRAYED. I finally got word at 7:40 Friday night that the family received word that he was safe. I was beside myself for my student that I taught ten years ago, I can't even imagine how his family felt. I chalk this up to a "Never Again". Never, ever again.
On a lighter note I've got a "First" that had me a little shocked but I found it highly humorous. My IPOD dinged this afternoon that I had a FACEBOOK message. It was from a former student of mine inviting me to a "Surprise Party". I thought I knew what it was but I couldn't imagine getting an invite like this from a former student so I googled it. My first reaction was correct. A former student invited me to a sex toy party. I just kind of sat at the computer with my jaw opened and then I just laughed. I mean what else was I supposed to do?
