One of the hardest parts of being a teacher is that the work keeps coming and never stops coming . At a normal job, you clock in at 9 and leave at 5 without having to do extensive planning for days to come during the time you're not in the office. When you're a teacher, it's a completely different story. There's never time for not working.

A town shrouded in mystery returns...

Greetings, philosophy heads . Here's a little joke you might appreciate. Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Certain aspects of culture tend to seep into our brains. Over the past decade or so, especially thanks to hip-hop, rap, and Black Twitter , AAVE has definitely fallen into that category. Because of their prevalence, a lot of AAVE (African American Vernacular) has become slang. But not everybody is able to use it correctly.
