Doesn't happen very often. But every now and then I get hit with something that throws me off balance. Today it was the Facebook troll who created a new account with a fake name long enough to send me a message. Then the account was deleted.
"You know who I am," the writer said. "I'm surprised you're still teaching. What changed? When you were my teacher you could barely control a classroom."
Then the writer went on to describe how guilty I was for not seeing or dealing with the bullying that was going on under my nose. The final statement was something about how at my age my biggest concern should be related to having a successful bowel movement.
Yes, this really happened today.
And I did have a successful bowel movement.
Shit.
We all have ghosts, don't we?
