This is how we do it..

So far in class we have been reading All Quiet on the Western Front and discussing WWI. Today in a discussion about how gas was outlawed after the war for being “too violent” a weapon a student asked me:

“If they outlawed gas, why not nuclear weapons?”

Making connections folks. History informing the modern age, this is what it is all about. I wanted to jump up and down screaming Yes!! but I didn’t want to look crazy in front of an assistant principal.

I did however manage a “Mhmmm, that would make a good paper topic.”

1 Week

I have student taught for one week so far at an expeditionary school out here in Colorado. My immediate thoughts:

1) Hey Kids! Your teachers (me) use Wikipedia too, but you’ll never know.

2) I amazed at the stamina at some of my fellow teachers, amazed and envious.
