Teacher

[Heavy Lids]

Hi I'm a teacher from the teacher's corner. I found this forum through a google search. I figured out that you guys were coming from one place so all I had to do was do a google search on your usernames/messages which lead me here.

I just want to say, DON'T FREAK OUT. I want to warn you I support school and judging by those other comments (and this site), I know you guys don't like it.

I am a teacher in Nebraska. I usually teach AP high school science. I like sleeping, but the parents of my children keep me awake, I hate them. I wish I could do more in my classes, but my kids are all over the place. The classes are too short. The state wants me to prepare them for tests, I don't like them. I have to answer to a school board, and they don't like it when I try to deviate from the curriculum or the schedule. It's easy to get in trouble because of the bureaucracy.

I try not to give too much homework, but when I do, it's always challenging, so that my students can learn to learn.

I have heavy lids, because of my somnolence. I practice lucid dreaming, but it's hard. My husband still thinks it's weird. Usually I just end up having nightmares about school. I like reading about offbeat things, and strange ideas. The fringe is where invention lies.

I like science, because it's one of the few places where you can find order in an otherwise chaotic world. It's one of the few places where you can find a meaningful moment through a meaningless process.

I like post-rock music, like explosions in the sky or godspeed you black emperor. Shoegazer music is good for sleeping. So is minimalism like Stars of the Lid.
