Moral of the story - don't fire off flashbulbs from your Speed Graphics at Kong or next thing you know he's climbing up buildings. Especially not with a three head flash.

The Hate U Give is exceptional, a must see. At least five star. Brilliant and emotional.

The book was great. A bunch of my students have read it, but our field trip request to see it was denied. Sigh.

I've got to replace my Dell laptop, it's been a good one, but it's been well used. The keys are worn slick, the DVD is gone, and it's acting funky. What did you get????

After my MacBook GPU quit on me I got a Dell XPS 13 ... cause I could not afford a 12" MacBook.

The Hate U Give is an exceptional movie, truly a must see. At least five star. Brilliant and emotional and powerful. (Plus, one of Mary Lou’s students worked on the film.)

Interesting. Was it deemed inappropriate for the age of the students, or something similar?

Kudos for asking, since your students were already familiar with it.

*sigh* ... hey, maybe for extra credit ... what powerful discussions comparing the book to the movie with race relations as a common thread.

Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are enjoying the 75F afternoon, sipping some wine, snacking an empanada from a new bakery we discovered and watching cable news.

Who do you think gave them the book?

For sure. That's the reason it wasn't approved. My principal tried to say it was too sexual (nope), but he finally admitted that he was worried about parental/community kickback because the issues are hotly contested right now. Too real. Too fresh. Too emotional.

Honestly...from his perspective, I get it. Principals are quickly becoming political figures, and risky decisions can cause contracts to be non-renewed.

But then, he said this: "You know -- if you get a movie with a lot of positive messages -- like remember that movie Remember the Titans? I'd be happy to approve something like that."

That's when I realized that he didn't get it, and he probably won't ever.

Taco Tuesday! A buck fifty each, above are chicken, crispy shrimp and a fish taco.

OMG no comparison between those two movies. The principal is sorta like a politician where it is better to get re-elected than do the right thing.

 

[Gary A.]

Honestly, Gary didn’t expect much ... thinking ... okay, Mary Lou owes me one, as we’re here for her former student. The movie brought tears to Mary Lou and Gary stood up and applauded at the end.
