It's May 10, 2013, the past couple of months has been quite interesting. I have finally decided that I'm done with classroom teaching, I'm tired of the environment, I'm ready for a new challenge. I come into the building with hopes of a refresh feeling that things will be different. As I digress, I'm learning that dealing with children, especially boys of all ethnic backgrounds are emotional draining. What I'm truly coming to understand is that boys that are being raised by single moms have a more challenging time with their social emotional behavior than not. I'm so concern that these young boys, who will be men one day will not meet the expectations of society and/or the community as a whole. It truly pains my heart that they may not ever come to grips with their true selves. I now see why our jails are overpacked and graves are many with our boys turned men. It is so true that boys need a male figure in their lives. Women can't do it all!
