near the end

Only two weeks left. The last few have been somewhat eventful.
Prom was last weekend. The kids were great. One had a seizure, and I spent 3 or 4 hours in the hospital with him. Poor guy.
I got my clasepom back. We're reading Our America, and most really like it. They believe they've found a way of outwitting me. They can read the book and discuss it until the bell, and then it's too late for me to make them write. I can't say I mind. There has been some writing still.
Between their love of discussion and the amount of time I spent out of the classroom doing office work, they had very few written asignments this quarter. They tend to be happy about that, but it really bugs me. I think they're being cooperative now in part because they were bored. Next year, I don't expect this problem.
Finally, the lsc chose a new principal. Not our AP. But someone new. We'll have to see how that goes. I've often felt our AP was far tougher on me than on most others, but still respect her immensely and hope she stays. Speculation is that she will leave, which means two new prole in the top two spots. All I really want is to be left alone to teach, to have an aide who does his/her job, and to know that we have a system for disciplining students. As usual, the students have been saying and doing weird stuff. I've just been slackinh off about Blogging any of it. Next time...

time goes by

I've been in the office a lot lately, so I've been very bored. I'm back in a classroom tomorrow. My classroom is the in-school suspension room, at least for now, so there are issues. Always issues...
