I’m saying this with great love and care as a parent of 3 and 25 year veteran high school English teacher: Please let your high school kids read banned books. Those books are *preparing* them for life, not harming them for life.
Fixed it.
Shopping for dorm stuff for my firstborn going to college in 2 weeks is wildly similar to how I felt shopping for baby stuff at 38 weeks pregnant. Like, how are we going to do this?!?
Today was my last day of year 25 of teaching high school seniors and tonight my first born graduates from high school. What a week. 🥹🫠🤯😢😊🥳😵💫🤪🤩
editing AI "drafts" and calling it your own makes all your work inauthentic. read books. go places. think. feel. talk to other humans. write. then edit. the process IS the art. if AI is the process, your product cannot be art.
So much is shitty right now, but one thing that isn’t is how my town has made believing in miracles, like snow in July, their whole identity. I love this about where I live. ❄️
If you’re a teacher in New York, this first sunset of summer with no Sunday Scaries is for you. ❤️

I am so proud of this kid. Every step, every mile, is a miracle. ❤️ www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/news/local-n...
