Some days are just SO frustrating...especially those ones when the chattiness just does. not. stop.
(But, in speaking with my other teacher friends, I realize I am not alone, so then I feel much better about myself and life.)
However, I read an article that I had found on Pinterest, and I got a little disheartened that I'd used at least half of the phrases that it says to cut out. S***
As I think about the point this article is trying to make, I see the impact such rhetorical language has in my own classroom - it feeds into the need of my students to show power and get attention (the wrong kind).
Well, at least that's a positive step - realizing that I need to make a change. (Not that, by any means, do I consider this blog the Bible, but I think it makes a valid point.)
Let's see if I can make some changes to be less rhetorical tomorrow...
