Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
Percentage wise, we may lose more teachers than students at the end of this school year. I know a whole lotta teachers will be looking for employment elsewhere next summer for various reasons, most of which come right back to the administration building. I was called on the carpet twice a couple of days ago.…
No updates in two weeks. That’s quite a while, even for me. Last week was brutal. I worked four out of five evenings, then spent the fifth getting ready for FenCon. So, what’s been going on with me? Hmm. I’ve been drowning in paperwork from school. I’ve switched to a mostly participation-based grading system. I…
