How 'Bout We Ban Banning. Seriously!? Seriously!?

I just get so ticked off when people decide it's a good idea to start banning stuff in schools. I mean, really, where are we going? what's next? Check out this video:

Dedication and Will Power Win...Money!

Something teachers should always be aware of: students' home lives. I'm not saying we should pry into our students' personal lives, just like we wouldn't want them prying into ours, but to be in tune with what is happening around them will help us better understand where they are coming from.

Take Jessica Herrara for example. She basically proved that perseverance and dedication will always win...big scholarships that is! Check out Homeless High School Graduate To Attend College For Free for her inspiring and impressive story.

Dear Mr. Principal, Let 'em be!

I just checked my email and had a message from PostSecret wanting me to check out their Facebook page for upcoming tour dates. I found an interesting article about a high school principal that wants all this year's yearbooks entitled Truth Be Told to be returned. A new version minus all the PostSecret like confessions will be handed out at a later time. Fox News reported on the story with Response to H.S. Yearbook Confessions. Read the article or watch the video, both on the same page.Fox News talked to the copy editor, Kate Cummins, about the controversy. I applaud her courage and her ability to fight for what is right even amidst this controversy.
