#2026 – Third Quarter Begins
And we’re officially halfway through the school year!
#2020 – Hindsight
Or, Little Johnny, I just know you really well and watched you play on your phone for five minutes before I said anything.
#2012 – Students
Never fails: first day back from a break, some kid always asks, “Do we have to do work today? We just got back from break.” And then I murder them.
#1999 – Winter Breaks
It’s the last day of school before break and the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year!
#1995 – One Week
Just one more week until Winter Break!
#1988 – Flaming Anger
I woke up Wednesday morning with a massive headache and in a grouchy mood. It didn’t go well for my students.
#1938 – Real Teacher
I’m working this week without my team-teacher. I’m sure this won’t happen.
