Let it be known that I was not trying to come off as an intellectual snob. I've never thought that school's the end all, be all-- at all. There's so much more to life than school.
I just feel like if you're going to school to become a teacher, you should know the things you're expected to teach. And you should have a broad base of knowledge and be someone that the community looks towards as an intelligent human being.
No one who doesn't pass the Praxis II would be looked down upon by me. Try again. Tests are tough.

I wish it were easier to change the world.
I'm going to get back under my rock, in my cave, to continue overthinking, listening to music and checking in journals. I need more caffeine. Oh yes. I do. (It was too rainy for a walk.)

I'm frightened for the future. Really. I'd like to pretend that I could send "my kids" to a montessori school. but um... what about all of the other kids getting screwed? I wish someone had an answer :(
Dawnnnn what do you want to channnge about the worllld?
There are a lot of good school districts out there. To answer the question from your other comment-- I think I'd just make sure that my kids are in a reputable school district and that I maintain ties with their school and teacher. If there's a problem, I'd talk to the teacher or principal about it. If I still wasn't satisfied with things, I'd make sure that my kids got what they needed.
Education's not awful. And it's not everything. But it is important.
I want to end homelessness and poverty, feed the starving and right the injustices. I'll start by following the news, though.
