Nerdy Girls' Night Out #nerdygirls

People of all ages sometimes act differently on social media than they would 'face-to-face,' assuming that, because they are not communicating in person, they are not accountable for their actions. In fact, because of the nature of the digital world, you should be as responsible, if not more, when acting online. Since you never know who will ultimately be reading content online, always assume that anyone might have access.

"Seniors being Seniors"

Can't wait for my audio copy of Glass Castle to arrive from another library so I can read along with my students. From what I hear, the book is fantastic. As we read, we'll be blogging together on Tumblr under the hashtag #GlassCastleLF

"If you don’t want to sink, you better figure out how to swim."

Rex Walls

The quote above is an example of Rose Mary and Rex’s ways of parenting. Rex is teaching Jeanette how to swim by throwing her into the water and making her paddle and swim, if she does not paddle and sinks instead he rescues her, just to throw her back in. Both Rose Mary and Rex refuse to coddle their children, this way they have to overcome challenges and be ready to handle harder test that life has planned for them in the future. This strategy makes them independent and strong.
