  1. Regarding the first post: "illegal immigration" is so much more complicated than many people would like to see. Everyone has a right to stand wherever they please on the issue, however, I do believe that human beings should and cannot be treated as items or animas, as this so called "game" was framing it. It is very much a real issue that as teachers we are going to face day by day because it is part of the story of many of our students.

    On the second post: Nick H. posted this earlier. Amazing!
