Losing battles I continue to fight

[ringsandcoffee]

(some half-heartedly, others with more vigor)

-me vs the dust in my apt.
-4th graders watching horror movies
-keeping shoes organized
-teaching to the test
-not procrastinating on grading papers


I think I'll go cook now, instead of dusting or grading.

What's wrong with horror movies?

AHHHH! Freaky BK dude!

I think Cuckoo's Nest (that's what it's parodying, right?) would be nothing compared top what they see today.

Horror movies teach them terrible things, and they can't don't distinguish between what's real and what isn't. One student wrote about an escaped serial killer coming to her door when she was at her cousin's house. "The guy the police were looking for" It was for a writing assignment and I was so annoyed I almost couldn't grade it.

... I'm sure someone also followed her mom to Target and put sugar in her gas tank.
