Two days back! Just two days we’ve been back and already I’m feeling the weight of the final three weeks of school before Christmas, none of which actually have to do with my particular kids or my particular classes.
Part of the fun involved convincing someone at the downtown Beaudry building that libraries are not sufficiently equipped to handle all the Choices applications that people are requesting. I hope this doesn’t actually involve calling up all our neighborhood libraries tomorrow, but it just might.
The other fun part is running a department meeting where we are charged with amending a very significant document and only given an hour to do it. So while the meeting was actually really productive (we’ve got freaking amazing teachers), there’s still much work to do, and it all must happen within a very short amount of time.
Anyway, we’ve only been back two days and it already feels like we’ve been back two weeks. Thank goodness for the advent season that is nonetheless here, keeping me sane!

Kyle, I may have mentioned this to you as we concluded yesterday’s meeting. If not, I’ll mention it again.
To whom it may concern: Your oversight, lack of foresight, or lack of planning does NOT make this endeavor MY emergency. One measly hour, with no prep time to set up what it is we were doing, is simply not good ’nuff. Admin peeps, this is the SPSA! Helloooooo!!!
Keep on keepin’ on…..Shredder
Kyle,
Yes… but what makes them amazing teachers is having an amazing leader. You have an energy about you that is genuine and sincere, which is why colleagues support you. It’s a shame that it seems like the same politics and disrespect is going on at Cochran. It’s not fair to you, the department, and as a result the kids. I’m sorry to hear that that situation even had to happen. Just keep being optimistic and focused- your team is behind you! Heck, I’m in Mexico but if you needed or asked I’d be there for you in a heartbeat (even though you are a Met’s fan!)
