I bet you all already think of someone who you wish you could give this book to

If by “someone” you mean “every single person on earth,” then yes, you win the wager.

aka the anthology of all of my papers and essays ever written ever. oh what, you love the 1940’s and wish you could have lived during it? Try telling that to Poland.

Yeah, I’d like to hear.

Everyone needs to stick their nose deep into this book.

Dear followers, teachers, and the Tumblr #education community,

My name is Ray Stoeser and I am a second year English teacher at Crockett Technical High School in Detroit, MI. This year I had the amazing opportunity to be the AP Language and Composition instructor for our school. I work with some of the most amazing students you could meet. Their hunger, passion, and dedication to their education is truly special.

At the beginning of the year, the school told me they would be covering the cost of the AP exams. We are a high poverty school and even the reduced $57 fee per exam is hefty for some of our students’ families. When the time came to order the exams, I was informed that the school was out of funds and would be unable to pay for the exams. I was heartbroken. How was I going to tell my 22 students that they were not going to take the exam for which they had worked so hard to prepare?

I couldn’t.

With less than 24 hours before we had to order the exams, I told the administration to order all 22 exams. College Board wasn’t going to send the bill until mid-June so that gave me some time to find some donations.

On May 16th the students took their exams and returned to my class excited and confident about their results!

That being said, we still need to pay the bill. My class and I are accepting donations and/or sponsors for the exams. I have 22 students and the exams are $57 each. We would graciously accept any denomination. Also, if you would like to pick one of the 22 students and sponsor their individual exam with a $57 donation that student would be happy to send you a personalized “thank you.”

Here are some of the students you would be helping!

5/24/2012: MISSING FAMILY ALERT: Authorities in Washtenaw County, Michigan are asking for the public’s help to find Alisha Martinez (29) and her kids, 8-year-old Areiyla Middleton and 3-year-old Elijah Isom were last seen Tuesday morning, 5/22/2012 at their Ypsilanti Township home. “We recieved a call yesterday actually, on the 23rd, but the last time that the mom and her children were seen was early morning on the 22nd, around 8, 8:30 in the morning,” said Derek Jackson with the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office. The older child did not go to school Tuesday and has not been to school since.

“[There is] no evidence that she is injured in any way or [of] any foul play,” said Jackson. “We just are trying to hopefully get some information from someone or even her herself — where she is or … what may have happened.”

Martinez is described as 5’1” and about 117 lbs.

Anyone with information as to the family’s whereabouts is asked to call Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office Detective Everette Robbins (734) 973-4884.

You may also call the confidential tip line (734) 973-7711 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP.

archiemcphee:

Argentinean sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas creates enormous sculptural works that seem like remnants of a science fiction movie set, or bizarre moments from a surreal dream.

The awesome piece you see here is entitled My Family Dead (2009). Here a life-size blue whale, created by the artist, lies beached in the woods outside Ushuaia, Argentina. The stranded cetacean is pockmarked with tree stumps, which leaves the viewer wondering if it’s being slowly claimed by the forest or perhaps it’s a native resident. Beautiful and utterly awesome.

“It’s been a long time since he wrote his last story, and he misses it. He misses the feeling of creating something out of something. That’s right—-something out of something. Because something out of nothing is when you make something out of thin air, in which case it has no value. Anybody can do that. But something out of something means it was really there the whole time, inside you, and you discover it as part of something new, that’s never happened before.”

I think I’m a pretty self-reflective person. I think I try really hard to listen and learn and grow. I like the idea of evolving. Some days I evolve more than other days. Some days I do the opposite of evolving. Which, I guess, is still evolving, but in less desirable ways.
