I am looking for two new teachers (0-5 years) who would be interested in participating in a study I am doing as a Doctoral Candidate at Baylor. The study looks to understand the experiences women working in the field of education have had that triggered shame and explore their resilience.

I recently read an article that talked about rigor. It said just because something is rigorous doesn’t mean it’s worth struggling through and instead of rigor, we should be promoting vigor, as in excitement.

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER It was a bigboxy wreck of a house Owned by a classmate of mine named Rod Usher, Who lived in the thing withhis twin sister. He wasa louse and she was a souse. While I wasvisiting them onewetsummer, shedied. We buried her, Or rather westuck her in a back room for a bit, meaning to bury her When the graveyard dried. But the weather got wetter. One night wewere both waked by a twister, Plus a screeching and howling outside that turned out to be sister Up and dying again, making it hard for Rod to forget her. He didn't. He and shedied in aheap, and I left quick, Which was lucky since the house fell in right after, Like a ton of brick.
The Man in the Dark Suit is a good quick Read as well.
Very grateful for a great department head and a supportive principal who have given us permission not to teach it! I’ll be teaching Stephen King’s “The Dune” instead!
