Just a couple of weeks left in the school year. The teachers are counting down the days just as much as the students.

#1328 – Sacks
Might actually be preferable.
#1323 – Embedded
It’s true: the George Harrison song “Bangladesh” is a great song to use when discussing the Partition of India.
#1302 – Substitute Methusalah
Had an old, old man as the sub for my team-teacher yesterday. He was a nice guy and not half-bad as subs go, but he was older than dirt.
#1291 – Professional Development
Professional development: come for the buzzwords, stay for the quickly-outdated policies and concepts!
#1232 – Winter’s Chill
Winter decided to rejoin us for the post-holiday return to school. It got damn chilly real fast.
#1216 – Classroom Governance
Every teacher is a monarch, and the classroom their kingdom.
#1149 – Startling Comparisons
Don’t forget to support me on Patreon!
Every year, the Wife becomes upset at ha into research the same procedures as if the students had never seen them. Every year, she’s convinced it’ll be the worst year ever. And every year, she remembers that, oh, it’s actually not that bad.
Back the Patreon! Get stuff! You like stuff, right?
#1024 – Political Ideologies
Students ask me about my political leanings all the time, and I always have to tell them that I can’t tell them because I don’t want to be accused of brainwashing the kids.
Of course, if they actually listened to what I say for about ten minutes, they could probably figure it out.
