@edudissenter @mr_englishteach If you continually pit students against each other, some are going to continually lose. Facing that attack on self-esteem every day is likely to result in a reduction in effort. The attitude will be, if I’m not really trying or valuing the competition, then I’m not really losing.

I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?" She instantly replied "yes." Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.

@TommyDeanWriter @DetroitWriting ‘Bedtime’ is my favourite thing I’ve written- page 22 of @_Re_side_ issue 6: re-sidezine.com/issue06 . I enjoyed writing it so much too.
