I agree that the system is just so completely broken and the ones with the power to actually do something about it just aren't. It is hard when you have SO MANY kids. Especially in jr and sr high where a teacher can see literally over a hundred students a day.

I finished Don't Call Me Baby last night. It was a little young for me, but a good read nonetheless. I'm on the blog tour for Prisoner of Night and Fog and that's the book I'm going to start reading as soon as I finish making the blog rounds this morning. ;) Solving for Ex was super cute. I enjoyed that one quite a bit. I love adorable geeks. <br /><br />I actually grew up in southwestern PA about an hour from where the school stabbing occurred last week. Hearing it on the news definitely shook me. My cousin still lives in that area and is substitute teaching all over the place (or she was before she had a baby two weeks ago, anyhow) and I have a lot of friends who are teachers in that area. It's terrible knowing kids (and staff!) aren't even safe in a school. It breaks my heart. <br /><br />I hope you have a good week! <br /><br />Check out my <a href="http://www.kimberlyfayereads.com/2014/04/12/stacking-the-shelves-37/" rel="nofollow">StS</a> and my <a href="http://www.kimberlyfayereads.com/category/giveaway-2/" rel="nofollow">current giveaways</a>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054719795632431384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-68876604673742617272014-04-13T06:24:27.038-04:002014-04-13T06:24:27.038-04:00Nice pile!

Plus after putting all that work--not to mention money--into getting this degree I'm not going to let it scare me away from the profession, but it's hard not to let that wiggle of doubt in. I know that teaching is the right profession for me and frankly, I'm good at it. But it does just suck. It sucks. I'm so glad that all of those kids are going to pull through, but you think about all the children who have died because of these other children's senseless acts and it just makes me so sad.

Things are going to happen that are out of my control. Like the school losing my child on the second day of school...they put her on the wrong bus, the one with the longest route of them all so it was two hours before she got back to the school. But she went back the next day with no problems. I guess what I'm saying is that we can't live our lives in fear of what might happen because that's not really living at all. But it would be nice if we didn't have to worry about these kinds of things, right?<br /><br />Anyway, great book haul. I read Solving for Ex, and it was cute. And Very Bad Things sounds awesome!
