crowgirlbthings at work have been better since psycho boy was expelled. my students still drive me crazy, but in a much more normal sixth grade sort of way. talking too much from everyone, gossiping and rumor-spreading from the girls, near fights from the boys, and so forth. still exhausting and difficult to deal with, but much more sane, and punctuated by moments where I feel like I'm actually acomplishing something - a kid manages to explain to me the long chain of connections between hunting predators, and too much sediment in the water, which can kill fish, another remembers to line up the decimals before adding and seems to finally understand what it means to line up the decimals.
it's an uphill push though. teaching is definitely the work of sisyphus. just when the top of the hill is in sight, the rock rolls back down to the bottom and you start again.
gotta push that rock up that hill, gotta push that rock up that hill
on the plus side, thanksgiving was lovely - thank you![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
glaucon. as always, you put on a great spread.
I also read a great romance novel today - total tearjerker called Ain't she sweet? by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I have developed such a weakness for writers who consider themselves to be following in the footsteps of Georgette Heyer. Not sure if it's an advantage or a disadvantage that it made me cry so much.
