Thanksgiving!

It's been strange having 3 days off and it still only being Friday. It's going to be a pain going back to school on Monday, for both me and the kids.

But anyway, I found this gem about standardized tests and poverty in the Post today. Le sigh.

Out of the Mouth of Babes...

I'm going to try really, really hard to update this more often. It was a short week since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and this month has been short and a little broken up in general, which means the kids are more riled up than usual. As I was walking to the library yesterday, I heard this gem: "Dude, you think too much about the ladies. Do your work first, then you can think about the ladies!" That's right: Priorities. He haz them.

Also, my immediate supervisor and the county English supervisor came by to watch me teach. It went pretty damn awesomely. Hooray. So I still have a job. For now.

Exhausted

...physically and mentally. Ugh, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet...

...but I had to share this. Awesome.
