Open Up Your Mind

I had a hard time picking a specific lyric to title this blog today.  Why? I do not know, everything seemed to fit my mood.  Life has been crazy busy the last few months.  And all my blogging time was taken up by a blog I had to for a class.  It was not as fun as this blog.  I didn't care about writing what I learned from class the previous week and how it was going to apply to me as a Future Educator to the Youth of America.  It's quite the title I am to receive.  Will you trust me with your kids?  To give them the education you want them to have, hope they will have?  Exactly what kind of education do you think they will be receiving?  I plan on teaching literature from a variety of cultures, races, ethnicities, religions...will you be okay with that?  My Multicultural Curriculum class is infiltrating my mind right now...

Actually the class itself, so far, is pretty boring.  It's the reading for it that is keeping me interested.  Why am I spending 3500 bucks a quarter to listen to the professor answer peoples' questions who don't know how to read the syllabus?  Email the lady! Ask her after class! Do not waste my precious tuition dollars, please!  Last week we got to read an article by Beverly Tatum on Racial Development Identity Theory and we didn't spend even one second discussing it.  I had stuff to say!  This is important information: how to not be racist when you teach!  Someone help me wrap my middle-class, White, American brain around this!

In other news, I am convinced the kids at the preschool yesterday all ate Coco Puffs for breakfast.  The morning class was so monstrous that I was completely physically and mentally exhausted by 11am when they finally left.  I love my job and the kids, but come on!  Do 3-5 year olds really understand the concept of a three-day weekend??
