Reflections on Teaching, etc.
You never really have to know the person for a suicide to hit home hard. This is by no means my first time as a member of the Tribe reeling at such a devastating loss to the community, but I sincerely hope that it will be the last.
Tonight I had to write some BS teacher’s reflection for grad school, and I threw aside the suggested topic of “writing about my favorite moment as a teacher.” Instead I chose to reflect on what this community has built, and how as a product of that community I will be creating the same structures for my own students.
I apologize for the length and the inevitably dark shadow I’m casting on an institution that bears the entire brunt of my love. If you’re interested though, my reflections are below the cut. Again, my heart goes out to everyone who suffers.
One Tribe. One Family.
