I'm trapped in my classroom for Back to School night. Yes, I could be grading, but why would I really want to do that? This is usually TV/Facebook time. Over the summer, my school got a new internet service so I can no longer get into facebook here. Sad. I do have a TV in my classroom, but it doesn't get channels and I always for get to bring DVDs. Besides, I only have 30 minutes left until it starts; an hour and 30 until parents come into my classroom and I get to talk about my classes.
Is it just me or did teachers always know just what to say on Back to School night? I don't ever know what to say, and last year a parent was so upset when I said that I don't give regular homework, they e-mailed the principal telling her I should be fired for not knowing how to teach. I'm always too tired by the time parents come in to know what I'm even saying and then they fire off all these questions that I'm just too tired to think up answers for. Sheesh.
I am still unpacking my mountain of boxes from moving two weeks ago, but it gets better all the time. I haven't done much this week, but I made an important decision about where I want my depressed-enough-to-commit-suicide women books to be, so it's all uphill from there!
Guess I'll try to find some website that will entertain me until I have to be "on" again.
