Choose Your Battles

1338) In any relationship you have, a wonderful ability to nurture is to choose which battles you should fight and which ones you should just leave alone. As a 20 or 30-year-old (hey, maybe even a 40-year-old), I would have fought tooth and nail against some things. There are some things we never should overlook,

Need Motivation?

1337) In my classroom, I have learned that everyone can be motivated if you discover what they value or are interested in. Currently, in my classroom, I find the kids will do almost anything in a class period if they know they will get to watch a 2-minute video of animals doing amazing or silly

Rotten

3347) Of all the household jobs that need to be done, one of my least favorite is cleaning out the refrigerator. When I take everything out to clean the shelves, I will always find at least one thing that is rotten and needs to be thrown out. This is why I hate this job. Seeing

Old Things Passed Away: Controlled by Hatred

3336) If I’m honest, there are very few things I hate. There are many things that irritate me, but to put them in the category of hatred would be a stretch. Of those few things I do hate, they would include students treating each other with cruelty. I also hate hearing parents yell at the

Old Things Passed Away: Envy

3335) When I was in high school, I was not nice to a particular girl. Unfortunately, it wasn’t just a passing thing. Instead, I spent most of my high school years disliking her and, therefore, not including her in my world (not that she wanted to be in it). As I reflect on this, I

Old Things Passed Away: Malice

3334) I discovered as a language arts teacher that I had a major gap in my understanding of something big within the history of the World War II era. We were reading a book that focused on the evil man Joseph Stalin was. Though I had a good understanding of Adolf Hitler and the atrocities

Old Things Passed Away: Enslaved to Pleasures

3333) I am constantly reading, and perhaps this has helped me become a better writer. I don’t know about the latter, but the former is certainly true. Recently, I read a survey that was conducted, asking people what they think the purpose of life is. The vast majority said they wanted to be happy and

Old Things Passed Away: Enslaved by Passion

1332) I have electronics in my classroom and a handful of remotes to go with these. From time to time, I’ll use them and think, Man! What would it be like if I could use these remotes on the kids? How about the mute button? How about the fast-forward button? Get the idea? What this

Old Things Passed Away: Being Deceived

1331) Spring in Maine brings a lot of things but the “greening out” that much of the country experiences this time of year does not happen until nearer the summer season. First, we have mud season. This is when snow melts and mixes with the sand on the roads from the sanding trucks and the

Old Things Have Passed Away: Being Disobedient

1330) Several weeks ago, I took my students ice skating. Prior to this trip, I think I had been on ice skates 2 other times and they are 35 years or more in the past. We had a blast, and the kids were thrilled that I got out on the ice with them. I found
