Nerd Problems

We can tell our children that school is important until we’re blue in the face, they’re not stupid. They see the loudest applause is for the kids on the field. They know teachers are paid poorly and don’t drive fancy cars. They know people plan Super Bowl parties but mock the National Spelling Bee. In other words, they see the hypocrisy, and we can’t expect society to correct itself. If we want to have any lasting influence on the way our kids approach education — the way future generations approach education — then we have to grab our pom-poms and paint our faces and celebrate intellectual curiosity with the same vigor we do their athletic achievements.

what books have you read recently or are going to read?

Hmm…I’m currently getting through (slowly) Great Expectations and The Fault in Our Stars both of which are taking forever because my English teacher enjoys long tedious assignments, though recently I’ve finished Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke.

I’m not sure about the other admins. I may be into books but the other admins are bigger literary enthusiasts so they probably have more interesting responses to add later?

Hihi! I’ve been reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy recently, but that’s about the most I’ve gotten around to thanks to school. On my list, though, is Fahrenheit 451, A Song of Ice and Fire, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Despair by Vladimir Nabokov, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Les Misérables.

I normally don’t mind swearing (at all, I swear all the fucking time) I just don’t feel like putting it on there~ It was actually put as “af” and it took me a while to figure out what it meant, hence why this is so late omfg
