Teachers don't make spelling mistakes

I just typed in my notes
"Keep in mind the end gaol:
students independently accomplishing rigorous work."

Instead of
"Keep in mind the end
goal."

school is not a prison
that's what I think

maybe
subconsciously
I don't.

DEFINITION:gaolnoun Brit.variant spelling of jail .

beginning

I think I am pulling out of this funk I'm in. I've started writing poetry again, which is nice (for me, not necessarily for you).  "Here's to the soul-expanding power of the simply beautiful," because I feel like that's what poetry is. You have to see beauty to write poetry, and you have to have gratitude to see beauty. See, there is a proof for you. Only about words, not numbers.
