Spend your holiday with family and feasting, in prayer and meditation, or naked on the couch Netflix-binging – it’s your call. This is ‘Merica! But I’d respectfully suggest that the aches and fears some have over the ongoing de-Christing of the season may not be proof they are fascists, or oppressors, or Fox News morning show hosts (except the ones who are). It may simply be that they feel like something special is being taken away from them for reasons they don’t entirely understand. ]]> 222 https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/teacher-books-gift-keeps-making-you-look-good/ https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/teacher-books-gift-keeps-making-you-look-good/#comments Fri, 13 Nov 2015 23:38:06 +0000 http://localhost:8888/bluecerealwp/blog/teacher-books-gift-keeps-making-you-look-good/ Some people love edu-books, it seems. I’m fine with that, but several I've started and discarded struck me as rather pompous – driven by edu-babble and postulation – which I despise. That being said, there are several rather dramatic exceptions which I’d like to recommend, either for your personal consideration or as holiday shopping ideas for that aspiring #11FF in your world. Books make such a nice mid-level gift – as fillers to open along with the ‘fancy’ presents, or as modestly upscale purchases (by their very nature implying that both you and the recipient are at least KINDA smart) for people you care enough about to stuff some tissue paper and warm thoughts into that decorative bag you saved from last year, but won’t be spending Xmas morning drinking hot chocolate next to. ]]> https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/teacher-books-gift-keeps-making-you-look-good/feed/ 1 220
