About Me: A high school Biology teacher's coping with rosacea while living in the interesting and sometimes insane world of public education.

Dealing with tragedy
This week the rosacea has been hanging in at a moderate pink. It's been cooler so the skin has been trying to dry out.
We've been studying the nervous system with lots of activities. It was a busy week but something happened that overshadowed everything in my honors Biology class. One of my girl's
father passed away with viral meningitis yesterday. It was sudden and I haven't seen the student since I heard about it. I told the class today and we all signed a card to send to the family. These kids are too young to have to face this type of horror and I really don't know what to say when something like this happens. I think the biggest shock for most of them is the sudden realization that they may not be immortal after all.
