recess
blind
ernesto looks up
eyes blank hands reach mouth laughing
escalera, ladder climb slide
march
california deck
wild hill mutters remember
nasturtiums spill bright
silence in the park
laughing girl signs
push me, swing me higher, faster
hands open forwad, push

About Me
- ladymabelgrex
- I am the atheist result of 12 years of Catholic education. We were taught to "duck and cover" against the bomb in first grade, and I teach my kids to "duck and cover" against earthquakes here in Los Angeles. In first grade, I wondered how much that dest would protect me from the bomb, and now I wonder how to get my kids with autism and mental retardation to "duck and cover with me." I find that, although I hate flying and fear novelty, I jump in to defend the perceived helpless without thinking about it. People think I'm nuts. I think sometimes my "helpless" defendees resent my intrusion. I can hardly save myself, but I seem to trip over my own good sense and lack of paranoia at almost every turn. The people I know who live paranoid constructs are almost always right. I seem to be responsible to an extent that is almost suicidal. I passionately love teaching. My educational idol is Paulo Freire, I firmly believe that learning is something teacher and students do together. I would genuinely appreciate any comments on this blog or any lessons. Teachers who have comments are invited to respond as is the general public. MJ
