Are you restless like me?

Here's all you'll get from me.
I think it's awesome how the books we choose for out independent reading in AP English reflect our personalities and interests.
Today Dwyer convinced kids that he was actually going to run for president. Most of us knew it was just for the lesson, but of course we didn't point it out. When he asked who would vote for him, I said I would. Later he admitted that he was copying a man who did run for president in 1936 who wanted to be a dictator (he lost). His platform sounded pretty good, but he just wanted the power. If it had been anyone besides Dwyer, even another teacher of mine, I would have been a lot more discerning with my vote.

I agree with the rude thing. That and they have to define respect, maybe be quiet while they're at it as most the kids at school don't know how to shut up.
