I Quit Teaching Today
Before reading this please know that I am aware of how privileged I am as a white girl with career opportunities in a developed country, where I can openly criticize my government without any repercussions. I live a free, peaceful life without prejudice or struggle. I don’t seek sympathy. I just needed to write out my feelings.

Four reasons how Yoga can transform your life
Yoga acts as the binding tool of body and mind. It helps your body to communicate with your mind. It enables a bridge amongst the two that, otherwise do not find a common ground or space to contact. The power of Yoga is incredible. The journey is liberating and the destination is enlightening. It's shocking how light movements clubbed with mediation and breathing techniques can have such wonders on our bodies and mind.It is even advised by psychologists and doctors to practice basic yoga poses. Yoga is free but its benefits stand countless. It helps to calm your mind and unclog the trapped thoughts. It filters all your negative thoughts imparting optimism to you. Not only psychological, but it has various physical benefits as well.

The next morning, as I walked down the still dark, but no longer garbage-filled hallway, to my classroom, I smiled at the progress I had made. When I flicked on the light, I gasped.

So, says the man-in-real-world-with-real-job to the lefty idiot in classroom. You're a teacher. You got it made. Finish at three, all those holidays. It's not a real job.

The Day a Student Taught a College Professor About Life
I was king of the world, at least in my mind. There was a shiny, new doctorate diploma on my office wall. I had gloriously defended my dissertation, at least in my own mind. Life was good.

The Dog Ate My Laptop
Not that long ago, I was a high school teacher. In the past few years, successive conservative governments have cut public education and demanded more from educators: more reliance on technology, more ideological training and development, more planning and outcome documentation, more data, more number-crunching to manufacture favourable-looking literacy and numeracy stats, and, of course, more kids in classes.

Worth writing?
Are we in the generation that says they love writing because they can pay for their writing? Well, have you ever wondered why one of the things that man has developed today is writing? since writing has been around since the most ancient times, writing reveals man's will to express himself and leave reports, stories or tales.
