We are all trying. I mean, really trying. I've been a teacher for 22 years, and this year is like starting over. We have been in the building more than most here in Indiana, but it doesn't mean things have been any easier -- especially for the students.

An Altruism
Edwin Avery eased into a parking space he had used for over twenty years. One piston inside the engine of his fifteen-year-old Hyundai puttered oddly as he twisted the key to silence it. Stepping onto the gritty parking lot on a warm spring day in mid-March, Mr. Avery cracked his windows before locking the doors, a routine he had observed since the air conditioning died.

The Importance of Music Education in Schools
Music education is a fundamentally important aspect of the national curriculum, yet music and other arts subjects are usually the first to be dropped in schools across the nation, due to a lack of funding and resources. From an outside point of view, music and the arts may appear to some as just a fun hobby or even as a waste of time. But involvement in music and arts education is so much more than just having a sing-song or messing around with some instruments.

"You have about three weeks from today to complete this assignment. Lateness? F! Grammatical errors? F+! Itβs illegible? Back to grade school you go! And if you plagiarize...youβre only PLAY-ing yourself. Iβll know right away. Class dismissed!"

A Head For Numbers
I was never a genius - my IQ would fall somewhere between 65 and 100, but people respected and admired me for what they termed my "head for numbers". I admit: even though I remember most things such as my business or telephone numbers, as well as those of others, some are more difficult for me to retain. Still, I was stumped when - according to my mother's prediction - kids my age and my college year were queuing up outside my door to assist them with a mathematical problem. Mathematics was not my favorite subject. Nevertheless, I managed to pass every year with flying colors. In any event, I took up a position as a temp in a prestigious school, teaching...what else? Before I accepted the position, I had to do a little refresher course into the more advanced aspects of mathematics.

History Unwritten
I don't know if you're like me, but in all of my American history classes, I don't remember learning anything about the Reconstruction period. I do remember being shocked learning about it outside of school when I'd graduated college and fighting the conspiracy-like thoughts of "what else were they hiding from me?"

Dear High School
Dear High School, I will never miss you. You forced me to be up at the earliest of hours, despite science proving that is unhealthy for minors. You swallowed us whole for eight hours out of every single day, pumping us with verbiage pertaining to mostly useless information. Where were you when I needed to know how to file my taxes? Where were you when I needed to know how to build credit? To save for retirement? You would scream at as constantly that college was the answer to life after high school, you jammed it down our throats to where we felt asphyxiated from the pressure. You failed to make it known to us that there were other options for us to pursue, that there were many avenues we could take to achieve happiness. So where the hell were you when we drove ourselves into thousands of dollars in debt, never knowing the true implications of our actions, whilst more than likely never holding a job that our degree was supposed to help us obtain?
