Maybe this is the wrong thread to have this conversation, and I think I just had to write that humungous post I just deleted, not post it. It wasn't hurtful or anything, but in the time between when I started typing and when I posted, the kerfuffle had grown and Deb had decided to leave the thread.
Deb, please come back. My guess is that this was just a side note to our normal madcap creation. It's not worth losing the thread.
Kristin, I can tell from your post that you are one HELL of a teacher. Thank you for your post AND for being such a damn fine teacher.
That said, I really would like to echo your thought that this conversation is better suited to Literary.
crap. I deleted it right after I posted it.
Thanks for the feedback Steph. I didn't mean to make you look crazy.

1) You didn't make me look crazy -- I do that all by myself. It's an art form.
2) I really did love what you said. It's why I would love to teach English some day.
Thanks, so much.
It just seemed a little silly to leave it up when I saw that Deb didn't want to talk about it and had, in fact, left the thread. It feels self-indulgent to leave a post to someone who was vehemently opposed to reading it just because I felt good about the points I made, especially as Deb and I are friends and I don't want to damage that. I have really been working on not arguing for the sake of arguing.
You don't look crazy by yourself ever. I always enjoy reading your posts. Also? I think you'll be a hell of an English teacher. Good luck with that!
Count me in on the Kristin bandwagon.
t initially typed Kristen, but I've been reading Beaches and know better
