the last couple of days have been intense. my first bout of disaster ed presentations (DEPs) was at the pierce street school. i went from class to class with my fire saftey info and smoke detector. i pushed the button; stopped, dropped and rolled, and all that other firey goodness. it was a good time, but i was definitely tired.
in fact, some of the teachers had given their students so much misinformation and spent much of their time talking through my presentation. it was irritating; i wanted to tell them they were wrong and endangering their students. i did a little, but they just got more upset and rearranged the words they were saying without actually changing anything at all.
