Surprisingly good...

So I put up a different journal question regarding a very well known image form the Vietnam War.  I am quite pleased with the responses so far.  I really want to take the Photo 2 gang in a direction that forces them to be more thoughtful in their work.  I want them to communicate something valid, not just take pretty pictures.  Recent talks I've had with acquaintances and meeting I've gone to have convinced me that, as a teacher, I need to make sure my students are growing up to be socially and culturally aware.  I need to work on that this year.

On another note, Czeps & I met with the daughter of a co-worker this morning.  She is a student heavily involved in the Wayne Valley GSA and would like to link up with ours and wanted some ideas.  Our fearless president is also working on building a connection with the Montclair GSA.  I have a feeling we will soon be a pretty happening club... We may even do a newsletter or have some sort of a web presence... I dream of a day when bullies and homophobes will know they have no home at PV.  We are getting there...
