School

So I'm taking Children's Lit right now.  And let me just say, there are some dumb people in the class.  It's annoying.  We spent two days going over ridiculous questions that had already been answered and were in the syllabus.  (My class is almost 3.5 hours long).  We spent a good fifteen minutes one night talking about where you can purchase a book.  We covered the different book stores in town, all of the libraries, and second-hand stores as well.  But, the saddest thing was last night, when our teacher said she needed to discuss some things about grammar with the class.

The first thing she said is "never start a sentence with the word "me."  Wow.  The fact that she had to tell this to a group of people who want to teach children is scary to me.  She also told us not to use "I" at the end of a sentence.  This is one of my biggest pet peeves.  People were corrected for so long, that now they overuse "I."  The next thing she told us was not to use the word "was."  As in "we was."  Yikes.  Not to sound mean, but if some of these people become teachers, I may have to home school my children...

Anywho, we had to make poetry books for the class, and I think mine is cute.  I made everything myself, out of construction paper and scrapbook paper.  (Well, except for the title, Lindy's Cricut made those letters).
