Cuppa
the Day - I’m lazy today. All of my coffee was bought from change found
in the bottom of my purse and the crumpled dollars from my pockets. A
house latte from Panera started off the school day. It had been a long
time since I had one and it was good. After school I met a friend and
studied (excuse me here, I just threw up a bit in my mouth)… statistical research at
Panera AGAIN and had a mocha freeze sans whipped cream and syrup. I
deserved the whipped cream, but my hips did not so I spared them.
I’m so embarrassed by something that’s recently happened with our
school board that I’m physically ill. However, I don’t know what line I
would be crossing if I spilled all the details on my blog so I must be
very careful. There are probably too many colleagues reading this
anyway, and I don’t want to alienate anyone or get into trouble. The
last thing I need is to be dooced for writing about my district.

This much should be safe: a recent election of a school board member to
the presidency has brought about allegations of racism and I just
watched the meeting on public access cable. The audience members,
parents and educators and members of our local NAACP, were completely
out of control and shouted at one another and failed to follow protocol.
I can only offer these Fibonacci Haiku as a response to it:
School
needs
a swat
for adults
who behave badly
and set examples for students
We
can’t
allow
perceptions
to overtake our
mouthing off or having tantrums
