We had a concert today. It doesn't matter what we were listening to, because really, we weren't listening. Correction. I was listening. My class was listening. My Super Colleagues' classes were listening. But the other classes? Yea, they weren't...

I think you know how the rest of that little saying goes. I'm so disappointed in myself. Here it is 22 days into 2009 and I was doing such a good job of staying positive. I'm loving my class more and even...

A while back I wrote about the great Parking Wars of 2008 and how our current union representative was as helpful and well, representative of us as a pile of poo. Yea, I said it. If you haven’t yet read those posts, shame...

Tonight was the night! Parent-Teacher Conferences. Everyone wants to put their best foot forward. For teachers, that usually means pulling out the "conference clothes", shoving piles of papers into available closets and sprucing up the 'ol bulletin boards. Yes, friends, we put...

CLAP! CLAP!Maybe it's just that time of year, but doesn't seem like every year that once spring comes, patience and positive attitudes go? Everyone is SO ANNOYED with everyone else (and no, I'm not talking about the kids, I'm talking about the numerous adults...

Well, well, well. Juicy, juicy, juicy. Every week, I am required to meet with the Bacon Hunter so that I can "collaborate with her and improve upon my practice" (read "explain to her the curriculum because, ironically, she's never taught it herself"). ...
