Reasons my kids struggle to focus on school:
JF's house got robbed over spring break and he only has two pair of uniform pants.
ME, MD, SC, LK, OT, and CA are pregnant. (MT might be too).
HM, LK, and RM have babies.
EW got kicked out of his house - again.
WB has been in court trying to get his own custody sorted out after his mom passed this summer.
HM just found out she has cervical cancer.
DD's pregnant cousin just died of sickle cell.
Someone threw a brick at CM's car - then he fought them.
Two girls went after each other with scissors.
WD had surgery on her esophagus.
RM's mom is in the hospital.
Someone that all my kids seem to have known got shot last night.
The list goes on, and I continue to be amazed that they show up at all.
It's hard to look too far ahead.

You're at a fork (Pardon the euphemism) ........
Are you a teacher of math with a narrow skill set and ambitions aloft ........
Or - can you really live within their lives and save them all?
To dispaire ( for yourself or them) is to be paralyzed ......
Think about what you need and what you can realistically provide.
After all, who do you have to sleep with at night?
