Hey ita, how's your french? I have a new guy for you.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Emily, I see nothing wrong with explaning that books are fallable.
Yeah, me neither, and I guess we can use this (and I think we may get extra brownie points for noticing the WRONG WRONG WRONGNESS of it). And I'm all about teaching students to really question the author and potential biases and all that (like the text's treatment of the Proclamation of 1763, which is correct but omits relevant information); but when a history textbook gets a historical fact wrong, I (as a hypothetical student) would think, "well, why should I even do the assigned reading from this book if I can't count on it?"

Born and raised in The Congo. Great guy. Came to the States in 1996. He is the Loading Dock Manager at my building. Majored in International Business in school. Pretty sure he finished. And GORGEOUS.

Gud's spring pictures are fantastic. And the children adorable.
Oz - that is a cute, cute, cute puppy. Oh, my.
Happy Birthday to beth and to Beej!!
It warm and sunny here. Dogs are barking, birds are chirping, children are... well, sort of having meltdowns, it sounds like. Still. Spring is good.
Took my niece to the park yesterday. You know what's still fun? Swinging on a swing. Extremely fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
but when a history textbook gets a historical fact wrong, I (as a hypothetical student) would think, "well, why should I even do the assigned reading from this book if I can't count on it?"
That's your job as a teacher -- to teach kids that every book is going to have wrong/biased/missing stuff, and that's why they need to read more than one book.
