Out With The Old

In with what, I don't know. Things sure are dicey out there. As far as I'm concerned, 2007 has worn out its welcome. What 2008 will bring is anyone's guess. The current events of the country, the world, makes my job even harder. My students are grappling with reality and struggling to accept the way the world is. Who can blame them? Many are bitter, resentful, in denial. They want to know why "we" screwed things up so bad. Of course, most realize that they will have to go out into this world and make lives for themselves, but they also know it won't be easy. And they are scared. And so am I.
