Maybe this is a vent session, but I just came back from our school's open house and I'm exhausted. The principal and parents were congratulating me on how well everything was...bla bla bla...getting to the point. Why are some parents so consumed on thinking the teachers are wrong. I had ONE parent tonight that told me off in front of all of the other parents and students. She wanted to know why her daughter didn't have better penmenship. I teach 6th grade, not elementary!! That made me feel worthless especially all the back breaking work I did to make this night special. If you are a parent, please be appreciative of your teachers and all they do for your children. They are your children's second parents because they not only have them all day long, but they actually care about them and want to see them succeed just as much as you do.

I am a fan of all silly little pieces of useless info or strange facts. If you would like to share yours with me that would be great!

Eg: Brazil is the only country named after a tree. Pigs cannot look at the sky. Snails have teeth.The Atlantic Ocean is saltier than the Pacific. Newborn Babies dont have knee caps. Bees are born fully grown. A roller coasters speed increases approx 10 mph when it rains etc etc .......

The character Henry David Thoreau incorporates the beliefs of transcendentalism into his life through deep reverence and respect for nature, individualism, and social consciousness.
