Hey ya'll

so I'm currently NOT reading this stupid Plato book I'm supposed to be reading, that I don't understand, that just getting on my last nerve....so I thought I would update the blog considering.....ya know stuff. 

-------------------

First, NCAA Championship game was last night. If ya didn't know I had Butler in my bracket going to the 'ship. 

like the worst championship game I've seen in like ever. STUPID BUTLER. STUPID BULLDOG. STUPID PAINT. Like I think Butler got one shot in the paint last night (i am right?). STUPID.

how you come dis far into the championship and then just like suck for realzy. like really. I think they were just trying to get my hopes up, making me think I was gonna be all baller and stuff, but then no ya let me down. ya let me down BIG TIME.....so ya know what I'm never playing this stupid bracket thing again.......

nah, but I actually will. It was fun though, I would be willing next time to bet some money in next time. like 2 or 3 cents. ya know how I do....

-----------------------

Second, I have a tumblr now. imtheasauce.tumblr.com. I'm still finding my way on tumblr so things might be a lil raggedy. What's surprising is how much education/teaching stuff there is on tumblr, like teacher use technology?. But it makes feel in the know about teaching. so I'm def posting alot of teacher stuff on there, but also some silly things and other randomness I enjoy. And I'll probably still do longer post on here, cuz I need to ramble and rant somewhere...

--------------------

Third, my new (old?) favorite song prolly for the next 3 or 4 days, maybe even a week. 

Rain by SWV. 

Man, this song makes me miss real R&B, and general music from the 90's. You can't deny the aural pleasure (hahaha) you get  from this chill, soulful music. Press play. 

--------------------

i don't really have anything else to say...I'm gonna try to read Plato,  probably not though....

much love. 

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

What's going on in K3???

So today began the teacher's strike in Kankakee School District #111 (<---can I just saw I always loved 111 thing it kinda goes with the KKK (whoa) in Kankakee...idk)

This apparently the 15th time they have tried to settle this contract dispute, I'm not really sure what the problem is specifically or financially, but it's interesting to see a strike actually go down. I kinda wish I was back home now so I can support the teachers (really I just wanna see some stuff go down).
But also I do really hope that they come to some sort of an agreement, because about 5000 students are not in school, and you know,  they should be, but we will see.
you can check out photos of teacher picketing here (yes a facebook group)

Also if you didn't hear, apparently about a week ago, 3 students from the K3 Junior High got tasered by a police officer, now a lawsuit is in the works. Guess what the lawsuit is based on? RACISM. This doesn't make sense considering how it supposedly all went down. You can read more about it  here cuz I don't feel like explaining it.

Yes K3 is finally making the news! If it was only good News.......

My question is WHAT IS GOING IN K3??? (specifically education-wise). Ever since I decided I wanted to teach, I questioned whether I would return back to my hometown, the way its looks now with all these financial troubles, I mean if you can't pay teachers correctly, why should I even apply for a job there? But you know I really love k3 and that's my home, and the students definitely need help.  I just don't know, so the debate lingers on. I guess I won't have to really make a decision until Spring Quarter next year. Ha.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!
