Question of the Day: “What is an Empath?”
An Empath is a person who is highly sensitive to other people’s feelings, thoughts, and emotions. These other feelings, thoughts, and emotions are felt through intuitive abilities, and the Empath is able to know things that the non-Empath does not. I like to think of it more like “reading”, which is what it feels like…

Question of the Day: “What are five ways to tell that you are an Empath?”
It took a long time for me to realize I was an Empath and not a crazy person. There are still days when I wonder… But in all seriousness, I did a lot of reading, soul-searching, classes, and meditation to come to terms with the reality of my gift. In the end, it really just…

Question of the Day: “How can I be emotionally healthy when I’m an Empath?”
The current state of things makes it difficult to be an Empath. I struggle constantly with other people’s emotions. Many Empaths want to check out on their gift because it is just too much.

Teaching # 101: Book Banning *Update*
Students who want to start the book club came by to visit me yesterday. They are really excited. They recommended we go to the public library to meet.

I am moving forward with our book club, but I have contacted other teachers hoping they will join me. Three others have agreed, but after my conversation with my principal, I thought I would at least be honest about the possible ramifications. We have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow. I sent a cryptic email just…

Teacher #101: “What do I do about all of these books?”
There is a controversy in our country and specifically in my district about books. Parents and the school board are coming at books hard and from all angles. They are forcing school libraries to take out books they find to be inappropriate. Many of these titles feature queer or gay characters and some have strong…

Question of the Day: “What song makes you cry?”
Jonah and I were driving around today. Cole needed a ride to his girlfriend’s house, and we needed bread. As we drove home, “Black Birds” by the Beatles came on the radio. ”Oh, my god, I love this song,” he said as he raised his arms in the air. ”Really?” I asked as I turned…

Question of the Day: “What is the hardest part of teaching for me?”
I’ve talked about this before, so please be patient with me if you are tired of my ramblings about teaching, but I think I’ve figured out why it has been so difficult. It’s an epiphany really. It all started when I read this article for my grad class. Currently, I’m working on my doctorate in…
