crazy life as a teacher

I love teaching this class. It's a total time suck, but it is so challenging and invigorating - it's also giving me the opportunity to view documentaries with the kids - just an experiment since so much tv/videos/dvds are so inappropriate. We've been watching hoop dreams for my class. Each week, the students write a paper connecting a film with readings - it's amazing what these students say in their papers - the AfAm stereotypes from this flic and the class assumptions with the Enron movie, but I wouldn't expect anything differently.

My alst few days of break - having to do classes and cram before going back...I can't wait to hang with the kids this summer (someone please quote me on this in late July).
