Music, band, Harry Potter, Zelda, Star Wars, Nintendo, Disney, the original 151, Glee, Big Bang Theory, tattoos, Guild Wars, books, yoga, and the list goes on.
This is my dorky, emotional, dramatic life. You don't have to like it, and neither do I. But it sure is something, isn't it?

"Straight" Against Hate

thundertwist asked: I hope all is well back home. :) I figure you're probably busy so I thought I'd leave this here for you to find. Gryffindor pride and all that good shit <3 Love and miss you!!! |
Lord, these kids. What am I going to do without all of them? What will I do without the people who have inspired me to be better every single day? What will I do without the second high school group, the second junior high group, the beginning band? What will I do without my fifth period boys to make me smile every day? What will I do without TBN11M and TPT10F, my two favorite kids of all time?
TBN11M and TPT10F are taking me out to dinner tonight, as my graduation present. I’m so touched that they’re doing it for me (and I’m not letting them pay for me, either… I may pay for them instead). They’re already talking about having FaceTime dates with me when I go back home and get my iPhone for graduation. TPT10F wants to keep having lessons over Skype. TBN11M is currently devising a list of questions he’s asked over the semester that I’ve told him aren’t appropriate for me to answer until May 11th. I told him last night that for taking me out to dinner and for being such amazing kids for me, May 11th can come early for them.
I love these kids so much. They mean everything to me, and I barely even know them. I don’t know how I’m going to handle having students for many years and then having to give them up. But I suppose that’s the curse I’ve chosen for myself.
I love my job.
Because I won’t have much to say to most of you.
It’s not my fault we didn’t have enough time together.
This will make it easier to leave, this will make it easier to leave, this will make it easier to leave…
If I keep saying it, maybe it’ll make it true.
Kickass Dad of the Day: When Stuart Chaifetz learned that his 10-year-old son, Akian, was being violent and disruptive in class, he was puzzled. He knew Akian, who has autism, to be mild-mannered and sensitive, and had a hunch that something more was going on. But after several meetings with a team of school officials created to help special-needs students, nothing changed. So Chaifetz did what any concerned parent would do.
On the morning of Friday, February 17, 2012, I wired my son and sent him to school. That night, when I listened to the audio my life changed forever. I heard my son being bullied by his teacher and aide. The six and a half hours of audio I had proved that my son wasn’t hitting the teacher because there was something wrong with him — he was lashing out because he was being mocked, mistreated and humiliated. His outbursts were his way of expressing that he was being emotionally hurt at school.
The New Jersey father has since launched a website full of damning evidence and aFacebook page, and he is petitioning the state to change legislation so that teachers who bully children are immediately fired. The aide has been fired, but the rest of the staff have merely been relocated.
“I seek a full and public apology from all those adults who were in my son’s class for what they did to him,” Chaifetz says. “It is also far past time that these issues are allowed to be hidden from public view.”

Seriously, all of my followers watch this. People shouldn’t be allowed to act like this to anyone. especially to small children with disabilities. Sign the petition, help get rid of these teachers.
I am beyond disgusted. I just. Fuck. I can’t even. How could those heartless people even think about saying those cruel things? Fuck. Everyday I lose more and more faith in humanity.
This makes me fucking sick. As someone who teaches and plans to be hired as a teacher… People like this are a disgrace to my profession.
She is so beautiful in every way… I love her.
