I am wrapping up my last year as a teacher.  I have many things to say about what is wrong with the system and little about what is right with the system.    

Currently I am sitting home sick with a stomach virus and decided to rent a movie on demand, what do I rent “Detachment” starring Adrien Brody.  I am left speechless.  This movie says everything about why I am leaving teaching.  For me it is a disturbingly accurate fictional film, but a fitting explanation of why.

I hope that one day I can return to being a teacher, cause I do love it, but I am tired, broken, beaten down.  Will the strength return to me one day to try again?

(Side note:  Adrien Brody at his finest, along with the remaining cast.)
