I started my morning dealing with an intelligent and talented senior with great potential who has been goofing off most of the semester. I ended the day with two students who made really bad choices and will suffer serious consequences. Just when I thought the day was over, I discovered that a student earlier in the week had skipped my class and then lied to me.
Usually, I work hard, find a way to reach kids, and celebrate their successes.
Every now and then, I’m just angry and disappointed. This is one of those days.

Those days are bummers but remember all the kids who did what they were supposed to do.
