I'd Like To Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had by Tony Danza was reaffirming.

I saw his series was going to be called “Teach” and about teaching so when I saw this book appear on the lists, immediately requested it. Here are nuggets/gems from the book!

pg. 48
“You have to be prepared to play many roles, you have to be a mother, father, sister, brother, social worker, counselor, friend and anything else they need.”

pg. 49
“We have to make up for so much that’s missing in kids’ lives today, especially in the poorer schools.”

pg. 74
“How do you get past the ‘I just can’t deal with them, and they make it impossible to teach the others, so why not just throw in the towel?’ You just keep trying. If you’re motivated, you do. The kids eventually see your passion, and that’s what makes them buy in.”

pg. 75
“You can tell the ones who’ll be great teachers. They’re the ones with the passion. The ones who try things and watch other teachers and network with teachers even outside their subject areas. You’ve got to be motivated to be a motivator. You’ve got to be able to excite the kids with a story or an action and then get them to bite on what you want them to learn. My classroom was a safe zone. Nothing but a place to learn and have fun with music, but if I saw a kid with an issue, I told him or her: see me, let’s talk. The kids are going to love that about you because they know they can talk to you.

He had other great bits of poetry from students and ideas on engaging students. Definitely worth reading.

How to Save A Life by Sara Zarr

pg. 157
That’s how life feels to me. Everyone is doing it, everyone knows how. To live and be who they are and to find a place, find a moment. I’m still waiting.

pg. 311
I don’t blame her. I haven’t told the whole truth about something important. Something I should have told her right at the beginning. But I didn’t want her to see me that way, see that part of who I am, the part that feels ugly and ruined.

Craziness meets reality?

Read Bob Harper’s Skinny Rules book and figure I’ll do my best to start following them. Does anyone know where ezekiel bread can be found??

In addition to following that, I went to a tasting last night for the tea, which is an alternate to a coffee that this company does that’ll help with weight loss. They’ve got a lot of stuff besides, but these are the two major sellers, and so on and so forth. Wasn’t bad, wayyyyyy better than the smart cookies. Deal is that it’ll help with weight loss without diet and exercise. That said, it’ll work even better if you do diet and exercise, or rather eat right and exercise. I’m going to do the 90 day challenge, and have ordered the tea today. There is a money back guarantee, and I also really enjoyed my time with those who were doing it, and hearing the testimonials.

I’m on my weight loss site as well and plan to post pictures and blog there about it.

Here’s to hoping it works and is awesome!
