Today I am wearing a head wrap. Can you believe that some of my students ran, gasped and screamed when they saw me? My students are so freaking ignorant I don't know what to do with them sometimes. I started giving the first graders a lesson on headwraps. Especially since one of the key phrases they are learning is " My son doesn't know much about the world.">.< … [Read more...]
Vegan 30-Day Challenge: The Good, the bad, and my new found respect for vegans
Its started out as just a challenge, a 30 day challenge to be exact. But it quickly became something more. Well actually let me clarify.

Like seriously people pretending to be adults and have no regard or respect for the community at large will never get my respect. Ok...I'm done ranting.

Especially on public transportation which is always crowded, steaming hot with closed windows and its freaking annoying. Its confusing though because people wear face masks here when they are sick but at the … [Read more...]
