I'm about ready to freak the fuck out. I DO NOT understand why people are up in my business all the time. Yes, I choose to post my thoughts on the internet. Yes, I am a teacher. One is my prerogative, and the other is my job.
I will assume that people who bitch and complain and narc do so out of some misguided sense of duty to the school. They think that if I say odd, inappropriate things online, then I do the same in class. Wrong. I do it online AS AN OUTLET, because I CAN'T say what I want in the classroom. I'm not harming anyone. I'm not threatening anyone. Why aren't these cyber-creepers looking for pedophiles or criminals instead of trying to silence a aging bookworm from the middle west?
And WHY can't these people say something to my face if they have a problem with me?! Why do their comments need to be disseminated by other people? Since when did people get so cowardly that they can't even say what they think to another person's face? Conflicts are solved through dialogue, not through letters of complaint. You think I'm wrong? When was the last time someone wrote a letter to their congressman and got what they wanted? These people who complain think they're going to shut me up, and they're wrong. The day students are taught ONLY by rule-following robots, they will stop learning anything at all.
