Weekend 2 of 3 in a row, done! #sayitlikeyoumeanit #speechanddebate

You know you're a #speechanddebate coach when this is your view at 6 on a Saturday morning. #SayItLikeYouMeanIt

Spoke in church yesterday about the difference between charity and love. Love is easy. Charity requires sacrifice. In 2025 I want to be better at charity.

Secure and teach for 40 minutes today. Police found no actual threat. Still....

Right as I left school on Wednesday, I FINALLY got the staff list I have waited 2 months for. Now I can do all those overdue yearbook pages. Holiday weekend, NBD. #teacherlife

I think my journalism class this trimester is going to be fun. They're engaged so far!

Why is the 2.5-day school week so long? I just want to lie in bed and read.

My daughter just found a new roommate! www.petfinder.com/cat/sylvie-7... #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed

Also, this. #proofofcat

Oooh...a school break day! Therefore: 2 appointments, Costco, submit student Congress legislation, take take daughter out to drive, grade yearbook pages, clean kitchen. #teacherlife

How did I just add 5 kids to my team? And how will I ever find enough judges?

Still not Friday. Rats.

I've been doing this over 20 years. You'd think I'd know better than to have so much left to grade at the end of the trimester.

We win. A lot. These are just really great kids. They're so smart, so dedicated, and so hard-working.

And then there's the kid who opened up a ballpoint pen and left puddles of ink all over the table today.

One of my naughtiest naughty boys from last year has been having regrets as he's been taking English 9 again this year. He's come to see me daily for help and is passing now. Maybe even a B!

Thor says hi. #proofofcat

New here. Can't say it on FB(very eclectic friends group), but I spent a lot of Weds. comforting distraught students. Still can't wrap my mind around it. We fight in our own way: writing election-related bills for Congressional debate. My team's talking about the changes they'll make. Watch them.
