Making lists keeps my life in order. Today, I present a list of topics that have crossed my mind more than once in the last several years (not just this month of blogging for the Slice of Life Challenge). I thought I would share the list as my post for today as some might need a little idea boost to finish out the month. I am saving it for when I am void of topics on which to write. You see, I have already decided that this blogging experience must continue for me past this month’s challenge! They are all topics pertinent to my own life experience, but I know we would all have our own take on each subject. So, here you go……
- Living with perfectionism
- Open enrollment
- Having exceptional child(ren) – the world of GATE
- Who is valedictorian? (I had one, I can talk about this.)
- Finding your passion
- Misplaced priority put on high school sports
- Should we get rid of grades?
- Did your school get rid of zeros?
- Allowing your kids to find their passion
- Is it worth it to express your concern regarding academic issues at your child’s school?
- The importance of music
- The beauty of math
- Pregnancy loss
- Infertility
- When your sense of fairness is violated
- Volunteering (for fourteen years) – what kept me going?
- Self direction – Self Actualization
- What happens when a teacher looses a summative assessment? (True story)
- Moving away from where you grew up
- A misplacement – Buffalo is not next to NYC
- Just do your job! – This has become somewhat of a mantra for me this spring!
- Role of art/creativity in life
- Virtual schooling is not homeschooling
- Learning to use the ER – when healthcare system abuse takes a backseat to healthcare access, millions of dollars are lost.
- Alternative paths to teaching licenses – something has to change
- Choosing to be a stay at home mom after obtaining a Master’s Degree
- Starting a school garden program
- PTO is it for you? Other ways to be involved in your child’s school
- My need for collegiality
- Being an outlier
- Being a life long learner
- The art of origami
- What happens when you have a conceptual learner? – The need for multiple forms of instruction.
I am glad to hear you want to continue beyond the end of this month. I hope you will join us on Tuesdays for the rest of the year.

What a great list! Honest questions and topics that have complex issues built in and no easy answers (except Buffalo isn’t next to NYC, lol). I think I may also continue to slice, not daily, but I think I can, I think I can, I think I can….so once a week, too!

This is a great list! Thank you for sharing! I not only look forward to your future posts about these topics, but I have also identified quite a few topics that I could use to guide my own future slices. I’m so glad that you plan to continue to slice after the end of the month!
