okay soooo it's too long to read but... a teacher named a teddy bear after mohammad and they want to execute her?!?!??!!
seriously??
Yeh, I know. Altho, that's the first I'm hearing about execution! Is that true!? I was surprised enough last week or 2, when they were talking about 3 possible punishments -- A fine, or 6 months in jail, or fourty lashes with a whip. And last week they decided to jail her. Execution talk now!!?? Crazy!!!! Plus, the kids in the class decided they liked the name Mohammad for the Teddy Bear, named after a kid that's actually in their class. That's insane. I hope she's able to be rescued from this.
whew i spoke too soon. She was pardoned. YAY! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071203/ap_on_re_mi_ea/sudan_british_teacher
This is why being a teacher can be a totally thankless job.
When I get over my emotional exhausted-ness of this semester and don't have to wake up at 5am anymore after getting five hours of sleep, I will share my stories of student teaching in Paterson.
No one threatened to execute me, fortunately.
