Upworthy

I've seen this before, and it can never get old. Be an ally. Use your white privilege to stand up for justice rather than looking the other way when a person is treated unjustly due to their skin color, religion, orientation, gender, or other identity.

Why Christians Shouldn't Try To Scare The Hell Out of People

When I was a young teen, I walked away from feeling coerced into accepting Jesus as my Savior, and I never forgot the way that HiBA adult leader made me feel. No one should ever be made to feel that way. I've NEVER lost faith in Jesus. Over and over again, I've lost faith in people and churches. I also never gone back to HiBA or any group like it that put the pressure on like that would be my only chance.

Teachers Who Bully Other Teachers

Maybe it's bullying, and maybe it's just unprofessional behavior. A couple of misspellings made me sad, but the specific behaviors are things I've seen in every school setting I've ever worked in. And that makes me sadder.

Something to think about. Also, I doubt anyone who has ever claimed they'd move to Canada has actually done it. If ______ wins the election, if they take down the Confederate flag, if the price of gas goes above $3 a gallon...... I'm waiting for you people to move so there's more affordable homes available. Need help packing? Oh wait, Canada doesn't want you either.

AP Classes Are a Scam

"To me, the most serious count against Advanced Placement courses is that the AP curriculum leads to rigid stultification -- a kind of mindless genuflection to a prescribed plan of study that squelches creativity and free inquiry. The courses cover too much material and do so too quickly and superficially. In short, AP courses are a forced march through a preordained subject, leaving no time for a high-school teacher to take her or his students down some path of mutual interest. The AP classroom is where intellectual curiosity goes to die." -- from this article

Rehearsing for death: A pre-K teacher on the trouble with lockdown drills

As someone who has cowered under my desk, practicing with much older children, I can attest that these drills force you to imagine the worst. This can't be healthy for this generation of kids. When I was a kid, we lived in fear of mutually-assured nuclear destruction of the planet. How is it that as a planet we overcame life on THAT brink, but we can't put an end to school shooting sprees?
