Leeching the teacher 😵‍💫

Thoughts on the teacher 👀

vlwelser OMG. I loved this. They knock her out, use leeches to force her blood to do whatever (recycle?), then she wakes and makes friends with the man that can bring her tea (who she just hated 5 seconds ago). I mean they could have just left her like that but they are better people than she is. Clearly. 10mo
IndoorDame She seems SO overwhelmed! I wanted to just hate the teacher, but this section made me think about all the things teachers today have to deal with that are in no way reasonable, and I couldn‘t help but have a little empathy for her 10mo
mcctrish As a teacher myself @IndoorDame you are a better person than me. I hope the leeches sucked the misery/intolerance out of her as well as regulating her blood pressures 10mo

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame @mcctrish I want to ask her “Who hurt you? Someone must have for you to act this way!” 👀😵‍💫😂 10mo
IndoorDame @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 I may not be a much better person. I only said I managed a LITTLE empathy (I teach too and I may have been super frustrated with the end of this term) 10mo
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame 12 full 2 half days left here!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 10mo
IndoorDame @mcctrish awww, see, it‘s really @TheBookHippie who‘s the good person here ❤️ 10mo
IndoorDame @TheBookHippie omg! Yay!!!!!!!!!!! 10mo
mcctrish 🤣🤣 @IndoorDame I have 26 days and one report writing day left 😢😢 and I wonder @TheBookHippie if it wasn‘t society itself that hurt her ( and all the other women) by limiting everything they ‘can‘ do so they/she can‘t let anyone take what little they have away #strongertogether ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿 10mo
kspenmoll @mcctrish The leeches! The only way they could help her heal…😂 I agree with your thoughts re women‘s very limited role in society & how scripted everything had to be. I totally disliked her until this when u saw her vulnerability. 10mo
DebinHawaii I am hoping she surprises us at some point & gets beyond some of her prejudices. @mcctrish I laughed at the leeches sucking out her misery/intolerance! 😆 10mo
AmyG I was thinking of the arrogance and forgetfulness of the teacher. Does she forget who she is…but now that she works for “rich” kids she has become entitled as they are. Leeches! Made my skin crawl. Not a bug fan. 10mo
Larkken I am pretty conflicted about this. I hate the idea of her not being able to consent to treatment! But the fact that she can be so beastly to mercy while she‘s so great to Francesca just makes me want to throw her in the lake for the other leeches. 10mo
Karisa @TheBookHippie 10 more days, 3 more half days, 1 fieldtrip, and 1 PD day (☹️). But I have the students putting together a student-written play based on the adventures of Odysseus with some musical touches, so I‘m happy 😅. 10mo
Karisa @DebinHawaii Right?! I keep hoping that the headmistress will turn it around in crisis like the head nurse in the St. James asylum ghost mystery we read. I‘m starting to give up a little hope though after what she said to Mercy 10mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I don't like this lady in the slightest, but I respect that she's still (sort of, half-assedly) looking out for these girls. Maybe Ah-Suk can make her a kindness tea next. The leeches were gross, but it needed to happen. She's at least an authority figure to potentially deter unsavory characters from harming these young ladies so I'm glad she's there. I won't hold my breath at redemption, so I'll settle for her being mildly useful. 10mo
mollyrotondo I hate this teacher because she uses corporal punishment on girls who are there to learn how to serve tea and impress the boys at the boys school or wherever their from. Ridiculous. This is not a reformatory. But I do appreciate that she didn‘t just abandon these girls after the earthquake. She is sticking around as their caregiver. The leeches were so gross. I hate bugs of any kind and would never want them put on my body 😬 10mo

I needed a reminder, re-invigoration today...and I found this little book of photos on Hoopla, so within an hour, I felt better. I think we all need that reminder from time to time that we are not alone, especially women, introverts, blue dots in dark red seas, and others who often feel a bit secluded in this crazy time. We are not alone, and we are all still #StrongerTogether

ravenlee Do you know Penzeys Spices? It‘s a great company and very politically vocal, with a message that Cooks Love, and that we can heal the world through love and food. Awesome Facebook page to follow (and their spices are amazing). 5y

Yesssss 🙌🏼 —in my experience as a woman in a male-dominated profession this is sadly very, very true. We need to change this!! 😡 #strongertogether

I am almost finished with this book. It has been difficult, but it has been worth it. 💙 #HRC #imwithher #whathappened #feminist #resist #supportwomen #thefutureisfemale #proudfeminist #feminism #imstillwithher #womensrights #currentlyreading #audiobook #mustread

Weaponxgirl That's great! The thing about children always annoys me too! We never hear men asked how they balance looking after the children with an important job, ugh 6y

I wish things had gone differently. Parts of this book made me nauseated, thinking about what could have been. I know I am lucky to have this woman as a beacon of hope, honesty, kindness, resilience, and moral integrity and reflection. She believes in the goodness of humanity, and bringing people together. She is smart, thorough, unafraid, and hugely capable. She reads all the time, and grows from what she reads. A bittersweet sense of closure.

JaclynW I need to read this! 7y

About halfway through this on audio and it is breaking my heart. I believed in Hillary Clinton and she has become quite the role model to me. Following my most recent Brene Brown read, themes of belonging vs fitting in are on my mind; Hillary always stood up for what she believed in, had the intelligence to back up her convictions, and spoke with confidence + humility. SHE BELONGS.

Plus, she's a book nerd. So many great titles are mentioned here.

Laalaleighh She's my role model for life. 7y
Notafraidofwords I'm reading it now and can't read it before bed because I'm getting nightmares and reliving the night she lost. I also think, she had so many great ideas which she talks about in this book! 7y

melissajayne I want to read some of them. What if she's secretly a member here? 7y
Dragon I saw her interview on the view and she talks about the Night she lost. I. was impressed with her answers to the host's questions. 7y
sprainedbrain I have it on audio, but haven't been able to start it. It's still so raw and upsetting. I love seeing all of the Litsy posts, though! #imwithher #stillwithher 7y
minkyb Quite the one-two punch! 7y
melbeautyandbooks @sprainedbrain- I am the same way. I downloaded it but I haven't started listening yet. 7y
MicheleinPhilly She had a quite lengthy interview on The View yesterday and she will be on Rachel Maddow tonight! 7y
Jess7 I love her. She is definitely one of my #rolemodels - #ImSTILLwithHer #HRC (edited) 7y
Jess7 Heads up: #HRC will be speaking live on CSPAN beginning at 7 pm EST about the 2016 presidential race and her book #WhatHappened 7y

We Americans may differ, bicker, stumble, and fall; but we are at our best when we pick each other up, when we have each other's back. Like any family, our American family is strongest when we cherish what we have in common and fight back against those who would drive us apart.
