the line is drawn

I laid into a handful of my grade ten boys today. It's a week into the new semester, and they are being stoooopid. So I raked them over the coals for a bit. Hopefully with a little firm consequential action tomorrow they'll fall into line. What is it that makes 15 year old boys so stupid?

Oh, and today two different students on two different occasions told me that I'm short. I replied, "I'm not short, I'm average." The grade nines are starting to grow . . . they're passing me up.

This has been an exhausting week.

Good thing there is a party in order for tomorrow night! Hopefully it'll be a time for you to relax. and feel that you are average height.
