While it was not fun to get up early and get dressed and make lunch and walk the dog in the dark and drive to school and make photocopies and finally start grading those synthesis essays, it was fun to see my friends and colleagues and chat about winter break-- and this was even more fun when one of my fellow English teachers reminded me that it is
Thursday-- even though the day really had Monday-vibes . . . so this was more of a "soft opening" of the school and next week we'll really get down to business and learn something.
This is exactly how I positioned things to zdaughter this morning to rally her out of bed. In other news, we're watching AP Bio and I assume it's exactly like your class.
ReplyDeleteit IS a little like my class-- although i do actually teach them english and writing (sometimes) but mainly i use class as a place to voice my personal opinions, hatch plans, and stage vendettas, just like jack griffin
