Overdue Like a Homework Assignment

I start teaching on Sept. 5. I have two classes of English 9, three classes of English 12, and one homeroom class. I have no lesson plans... yet. My classroom walls are still bare. The next two weeks are full of professional development classes and school-required meetings. In a month and a half, I look forward to getting paid finally.

On Tuesday, students arrived at my school (Miguel Contreras Learning Complex) in order to register for the upcoming school year. I got the sweet job of handing out schedules. Before handing them over, I looked at their schedule (to see if they would have me!) and to glance at their grades and GPA. Have you ever seen a senior in high school with a GPA of 1.25? What about a 0.81? Should I stop now or mention the 0.25? Alright, I'll stop.

A real, updated post will arrive as soon as my sanity does.

Hey. Thought I'd find the most innovative way to say hi! And blog commenting it is! I am also proud to declare that I actually read a lot of it. How's it going?
