final thoughts....

So, at the end of one road, beginning of another....hmmm, I think I'll leave philosophical musings up to Jeff.
Anyway, final thoughts on this 6 weeks...I was surprised at how much my middle school ready miscued! I did the actual research part like 3 weeks ago...and she missed almost one word per sentence....she'd read "placed" as "paced"...usually a wrong word, but a real one. Thus, she pretty much missed a lot of the story; although she did claim that she realized, in her mind, when she messed up, but didn't want to go back and correct herself. hmmmmmmm....i wonder how much I miscue when I read. Pretty sure that most of it is when reading aloud, but who knows?
I watched Freedom Writers....LOVED it. :) I would of course. I guess it was sad that she lost her husband b/c she was so invested in teaching, but teaching was what she loved and wanted to spend time doing! I can totally see myself doing that, so I guess it's a good think I don't have a husband/boyfriend to lose? haha I loved that she got 2 other part-time jobs to help pay for what she wanted to do with teaching, but couldn't get support for. I don't think I'll have much trouble with that in the Westfield school system...I think they have a good amount of money to go around, for a school anyway. :)
It was interesting to note, in the film, that the teacher herself wasn't really in danger from the gang kids....but they were in danger from each other! hmmmmm, something to get used to at Jeff high school.
Well, "that's all folks!"
