Today in The Kids Are Alright: I ended up behind a school bus this morning and the kids in the back held up messages to me on their phones: “Come to Kennywood,” “Have you read To Kill A Mocking Bird?” “Have you seen the movie,” and then, seeing Anna in the car too “Is she the Juliet to your Romeo?”

PSA: the Pittsburgh Marathon is this weekend. Everywhere you might want to get to on Sunday will probably be closed off. Thousands of people will be doing awesome things, meeting goals, and fulfilling dreams. Make it a day everyone can enjoy.

Hey folks, I need some help for a project on Fahrenheit 451 with my 8th grade class: if you had to choose one (or a few) texts to memorize and embody in a dystopian world where texts and reading are repressed, what would you choose? And, if you want, why would you choose it?

Today, as I was teaching “All Summer in a Day” and its themes on time passing, I made some point about people fearing aging/loss of childhood and one of the boys in my class addressed me out of nowhere like “Nah, you good Unc!” and I couldn’t even be mad that he took that swipe, I just had to laugh.
