For reasons having very little to do with the baby, I could NOT sleep well last night. Now I'm seriously sleep-deprived, and I can feel it. I have the worst headache ever.
I have a student from Syria who keeps telling me how Syrian schools are better, and people treat teachers like gods there, and how to an Islamist all people are equal and no one is better than another, and I want to ask "So why are there Islamists killing other Islamists for not agreeing with their take on Islam?" Which may, in fact, be an ignorant question; my information on Islam is not great, but even if it isn't, I can't ask that.
Today he said one of my students should be going to a school in Elk Grove because he's white. The class jumped ALL over that one.
