First day of summer school down--eighteen to go. I think I've got a good group. I am hoping that this goes very smoothly.

I wasn't going to do SS this year, but I swamped my MacBook Pro. So I need to teach SS so I can buy a new computer.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that you are able to retrieve your data.

Blessed are those who teach summer school. I’m exhausted this year and I am going to deal with a health issue. I may join the ranks next year. In the meantime, thank you for teaching summer school.

First day down for me too. I had a wonderful morning and then a student came in late just before lunch. The afternoon was a nightmare. He spit, he cursed, and refused to do any work. So sad for the rest of the sweet kids.

If I were you, I would go to admin about him because it is impossible to teach with him in the room.

So my AP environmental science students take their AP test next Thursday, and I have 63 students taking it. I decided I want them to have dinner / a senior gift. I decided to ask for donations for $500 and in less than 3 hours I exceeded $400, most donations from past students. My point, you are making a difference if you feel you aren’t, I was reminded of that today.
