Recently, a parent told me that it was none of my business where one of my students lived. If place of residence is out of line, combating social issues may trample on the toes of some people. I long to be just a teacher. Today, I didn't want the burden of solving world hunger AND the 9's multiplication facts. Yes, I agree that schools are a mirror for the society in which we live, but we are more specifically a reflection.
Tomorrow is another day.
After a good night's rest I will more than likely put on my armor and take arms against societal issues. Today, I just didn't feel like seeing the end of an all too familiar accusing finger.
