Jan. 19th, 2009 04:01 pmCombination of reading so many discussions on racism and watching The Golden Compass left me with hideous eugenics based dreams last night. As a result I'm completely underslept and overtired, and generally disappointed with humanity. Most disappointing - and as a teacher I'm faced with this every hour of every day - is so many people's unwillingness to learn.
I don't have a solution. All I can say is that you have to keep plugging away with the teaching, just for those few who do listen, eventually. Exhausting, innit?
Right now, though, I'mma have a cup of tea and a piece of toast with jam on it, and I'm going to read about how much John loves Rodney and how much Benton loves Ray, because that makes me happy. And everybody should have things that make 'em happy, every now and again.
