How to Burst My Bubble:
Grade journals for team-taught Great American Stories class. Nearly 1/2 the class is failing due to NOT TURNING IN THE DAMN WORK. Is it too much to ask for 6 1/2 page journal entries since the beginning of the year? That's 3 weeks, folks. Maybe this team-teaching thing isn't as great as I thought. In my regular classes the kids are nearly all passing, with a total of 4 failers between two classes. They're turning in their work.
Time for a marathon mommy and daddy-calling session. I want so badly to treat them as adults, but can't - so they need to be tattled on.

Oooooh, don't you hate hand-holding students. Turn in the work!
(PS: So glad to hear you might be knitting. There's a book out called "This Is Not Your Grandmother's Knitting", might be appropriate for your friend that thinks yarn is for old folk. Have her look at a few blogs, knitting is very hip these days. Of course I am completely biased.)
