Tomorrow night is the first student show of the season. I am excited to go. Two other teachers submitted student work, so we will carpool. Of course, for environmentally conscious me, that works. Last year one of my students received second place and the first year of the invitational, another teacher had someone get honorable mention. I do hope one of the other teachers has a student who gets something. But it is no big deal if that doesn't happen. It is just fun to go see what other schools are doing. And it is nice for the students.
I have been swamped this week and getting frazzled. First yearbook deadline, budgets due, sports shoots, faculty meeting, GSA meeting, the show, trying to enter my work into a show with a Monday deadline, Main Street events this weekend and my Dad is getting surgery - stage I cancer in kidney. I really have a hard time when students complain about inconsequential things. If they only knew about what I and some of their classmates are going through, I think they would realize that wearing an ID or getting to class on time are really not much to ask for and not worth complaining about. But, that seems to be in the culture... However, the majority of my students are so great, they make me forget all the bad stuff, temporarily...
