Wondering?

For those of you who were... Yes, i lived through lunch with my mother. Did she pry? Sure. Like any young child, was distraction 99% of the battle? You betcha!

i'm getting half way decent at the tactics needed to survive short bouts of time around her. So here's a wry... woot. i also had to zip off to teach that day so that was a bonus.

Teaching this year is going to be a double-edged sword. On the one side i have 2 fantastic classes of kids who have senses of humor and seem to be "with me" thusfar. i've totally changed my teaching strategy so they're part of a grand experiment. Shhh, don't tell them. On the other side is the realization that A) our new Director is going to take a lot of getting used to. and B) teachers are (i am) being directed to teach the same curriculum with two fewer class days and a loss of pay for weekly meetings... ergo, less money in the end (even though we each got a pittance of a raise).

And still... the committment of the teachers, myself included, to providing a quality education to our students is unwavering. Maybe it'll all work out in the end? Time, as always, will tell.

Oh, and this is blog entry 100! Ta-Da!
Never thought i'd get here. Yay me!
