    my middle school students

    had them brainstorm a momento mori phrase we could write and put next to the clock by the door, as a reminder that both death was coming and that the more they wished time would go by for class to be over, the more their very lives passed them by.

    Jeez! Are you TRYING to traumatize them? 😄

      I am a staunch advocate of giving middle schoolers existential crises and I’m tired of pretending that it’s wrong. All those little shits know now if fort night iphone and dab. A little fear and wonder would do them well!
