This, On Purpose. Essays and Bits and Bobs. Monthly Archives: March 2015. The One Question I Just Can’t Effectively Answer. March 9, 2015. The prompt today asks, “What makes a great teacher? 8221; And how the hell, pray tell, should I know? I mean, I am a teacher, and I am far from being “great,” if we’re to go right ahead and use such a blatantly subjective term, one that’s been hijacked by politicos and school boards in charge … Continue reading →.

This, On Purpose. Essays and Bits and Bobs. Monthly Archives: June 2015. June 27, 2015. An acquaintance of mine — a sharp, sweet, conscientious lady — recently posted her dismay at the grade she’d received in one of her college classes. An 89.45, to be precise. It’s understandable. It’s a tease of a percentile, ridiculously close to THAT possibility, the very possibility of the much-coveted A. While this was going … Continue reading →. June 23, 2015.

This, On Purpose. Essays and Bits and Bobs. Monthly Archives: April 2015. April 26, 2015. There’s a young man in one of my classes who can’t seem to keep his mouth shut, especially when he really needs to, when the moment has long died and he no longer holds his audience of peers’ attention. When he realizes that the only person whose attention he has is the one person who … Continue reading →. Oh, the choices we make…. April 18, 2015. A Spring Break of Self-Doubt. April 1, 2015.

How to Be a Beach Bastard II: Chair Buffoonery | This, On Purpose

This, On Purpose. Essays and Bits and Bobs. How to Be a Beach Bastard II: Chair Buffoonery. July 22, 2015. My very first post on this blog was about the inconsiderate, territorial asshats who stake their claim on a beach and KEEP it throughout their stay, even long after they’ve returned to their rooms for the night, so when you’re scoping for a place just for the morning or afternoon, or even for the sunset, you cannot find a decent spot whatsoever. I’d claim the place as “paradise” if...Resort beach ch...

Game of Thrones is a show that I’m into that seems destined to have a good run, the Walking Dead, and now we…. The Last Hour of Writing…. August 3, 2016. A Few Pop Culture Blogs Worth a Looksie.

This, On Purpose. Essays and Bits and Bobs. My Own Case of Pearl Clutching. August 12, 2015. WARNING: Continue at your own risk and pearl clutching. I try so very hard not to let anything shock me…anything people say to/at/in front of me in public, anything I see online, anything my students may write about, anything I read or watch, anything I might experience. As a horror fan, I’ve been told I’m already desensitized, quite possibly even lacking in empathy and compassion. The Whatever Works catalogue in...

This, On Purpose. Essays and Bits and Bobs. Monthly Archives: July 2015. A Red Flag Day. July 24, 2015. Today, the red flag is up at the beach. Red, apparently, signifies “High Surf and/or Strong Currents. HIGH HAZARD.” In other words, don’t swim too far out, and if you try, may God have mercy on your stupid soul. This early afternoon, the green, glassy waves in the Gulf were continuously rolling, a foamy mass … Continue reading →. How to Be a Beach Bastard II: Chair Buffoonery. July 22, 2015. Okay, so m...
