MLK Day
I’ve been too busy to blog much lately, and I’m too tired to blog effectively now, but I did want to acknowledge that it was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day today before I went to bed.
I’m actually teaching a unit that involves Dr. King right now. We didn’t have school today, though, so we didn’t work on the unit today. In short, we celebrated Dr. King’s legacy by not studying it.
I’m not complaining or anything, just noting the irony. The kids will study King (and many others) over the next few weeks.
I was far more poignant last year.
Have a good night.
