Lost in the Essay Maze: My Middle School Dilemma

Confession time, friend: guiding my eighth graders through their first research paper feels like leading a canoe through a thunderstorm—no paddle, no compass, just vibes. We started strong with question-storming and the CRAAP test, but now, with graphic organizers in hand, my students look at me like I’ve asked them to lasso the moon. Their claims float, their evidence drifts, and engagement? It’s evaporating faster than my patience! 😅 Here’s the kicker: do I scrap it all and start fresh, or push forward and hope a rough draft sparks something? Maybe a wild brain dump or a Google Scholar treasure hunt could break the spell. I’m desperate for ideas—have you faced this chaos? Drop your wisdom, poke holes in my plan, or just tell me I’m not alone in this academic wilderness. Let’s find a way out together! 🌪️📚 #TeachingStruggles #MiddleSchool #EssayWriting #Education

Teaching Empathy in a World Gone Mad: My Night at the Bar

Last night at a local bar in Austin, a stranger challenged my husband about his beer choice, blaming it on some recent controversy. Then, out of nowhere, he launched into a furious rant about kids in Texas being pushed to be trans. When I mentioned I was a teacher, he demanded the 'real truth.' Honestly, I was stunned. My classroom 'agenda'? It's simple: I don't let kids bully each other. I stop them from yelling hateful things, from making anyone feel less than human. That's it. No secret plots, no brainwashing—just trying to teach a bunch of middle schoolers not to be jerks. Why is kindness so controversial? Why does empathy feel like a radical act? I left the bar feeling angry, confused, and exhausted. How do we fix this? How do we get people to listen instead of rage? 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Let's talk. I need ideas, or maybe just a drink. #Education #Empathy #Teaching #LGBTQ #MiddleSchool
