Bud the Teacher

    I wish it weren’t true — but stuff like this will probably happen.  What will we do when it does?  We can stick our heads in the sand, block and ignore all the horrible things that happen outside of our classrooms, perhaps arguing that what students do on heir own time isn’t our problem.
    Or, we can face the fact that life is happening all around us, all of the time, and we should stand up and acknowledge that, like the educators who came before us have faced other, perhaps more serious,  issues in the past.   
    Which side will you be on?  Is it even that simple?
    Wait — do all  educators typically deal with the real world in their classrooms?
