Kristina, you have a great post here! You found some very interesting news articles and described them very well. I appreciate you breaking down the stories and highlighting the main points. Also, great job in pointing out who has the problem. I completely agree with you when you state that both the homeless and those helping the homeless have a problem. This is a very unfortunate situation to see occurring. I enjoyed reading over your post and seeing the variety of news articles you found, especially the one where students are making awareness of the needs of pets and protecting them. You are welcome to read over my post of "Identifying Local Opportunities" Here is the link: http://susanamorales0129.blogspot.com/2016/01/identifying-local-opportunities.html
ReplyDeleteThe articles you found were interesting and a couple were scary. The crash in DeLand and the accident between the county manager and homless person in Daytona shows the kind of chaos that occurs everyday. I definitely understand the article about teachers feeling undervalued and overworked. My mom has been teaching over 27 years as an inclusion kindergarten and pre-school teacher. After this much time teaching, she unfortunately does not recommend the job often as she believes the pay does not equal the amount of work required to fulfill the job. Feel free to read over my blog to see if any of the articles I found relate to you in any way. The link is below.
