An apprentice to the Goddess
I know I keeping whining that my summer is over, but the bitching stops here. I'm taking this workshop by Marilyn Burns, the Goddess of Mathematical Education, and it's crazy awesome. I have learned so much. There are so many things that I'm psyched about for my classes this year. I'm so looking forward to taking on this school year. I've had a nice, relaxing break, and now it's time for me to be a productive member of society again; I'm fired up and ready to work really hard and start applying some of this stuff I've learned. (And I'm really lucky that I feel this way because my new department chair is the superintendent's daughter. Unfortunately, she has never taught middle school before. This should be interesting.)
Now I just have to get out of the habit of sleeping in past 8, 8:30, 9:00....
Other than that minor issue, all I've got is "Look out you pre-pubescent *fuckers. Here I come... you're going to learn, and goddammit, you're going to enjoy it!"
* by fuckers, I do, literally, mean "fuckers." Many of my 12 and 13 year old students engage in frequent sexual activity. Even on campus.

For a lot of kids today, "sex" has become quite mainstream (tv, movies, video games, their parents' views, politics...) as it's "taboo" status has eroded over the years.
Many of these kids no longer view sex as a gesture of love. They view sex as an extra-curricular activity in which to engage after school when their parents aren't home.
Quite frankly, it terrifies me.
Yep, it is pretty disturbing...I had barely just started menstruating. I hadn't even kissed a boy let enough even *thought* of having sex with one!
