After watching what all goes on in the schools, I have more appreciation for teachers than I ever did. I don't know how any of you even concentrate in the noise-filled holding institutions they now call schools.
The kids aren't the only ones with bad eating habits and school isn't the only place they get horrible snacks handed to them. We have made our food so chemical and yet so tasty and mass-produced that once you get in the habit of eating it, it's hard to get out.
And the computers--with kids constantly playing games and not paying attention--I agree, it's hard not to feel that we're all doomed. I wish you luck as a sub and thank you so much for doing it.
