SEPTEMBER 11

BEING A TEACHER, MOST DAYS, IS A VERY JOYOUS CAREER FOR ME. DAYS LIKE TODAY---NOT SO MUCH.

YOU WOULD THINK THAT KIDS WHO ARE 13, 14 YEARS OLD "GET IT"

YOU KNOW, THE TRAGEDY OF WHAT HAPPENED 5 YEARS AGO TODAY.... BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND. AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO IMPACT THEIR VERY SHALLOW DECISION MAKING SKILLS AT THIS AGE.

DON'T GET ME WRONG. MOST OF MY STUDENTS ARE SINCERE WHEN DISCUSSING THE ISSUE. BUT SOME OF THEM, ENOUGH OF THEM TO MAKE ME VERY SCARED OF OUR NATIONS FUTURE, JUST DON'T GET IT.

TO THOSE WHO REMEMBER, NEVER FORGET. DO NOT LET OUR CHILDREN FORGET. TEACH THEM THE VALUE OF EACH DAY. TEACH THEM THE VALUE OF EACH OTHER. JUST TEACH THEM. IT TRULY SHOULD COME FROM THE HOME.

SUCH A SAD DAY ON SO MANY LEVELS....
