Not me doing the hardest part of my job before school even starts….this is about to be the most beautiful schedule I’ve ever made. I charge $80k for this.

it me: “ students are not necessarily the best students… Sometimes fail because they don’t know how to ask for help, having always been told they were ‘smart,’ so they never learned how to work hard.”

I like Christie Robertson (PhD in neuroscience) for her no-nonsense focus on data, student outcomes, inclusion, and extraordinary service for . Gitenstein brings a voice of sanity to the district we are in oddly short supply of, and he would be my second choice, and he has other experience in large-org leadership I like, plus he doesn't mince words. Briggs seems to really like the status quo, and her qualifications/background are lacklustre.

Just returned from a short trip to my son's graduation. He's in 8th grade, but he is in an online school so it wasn't down the block. Anyway, he received honors and an achievement award. He has autism. Before he started going to school online during the pandemic I was told not to expect much from him. His current school (public) has the funding to give him the help he needs.

Ah, the end of the school year, when students do not get their special ed services with any regularity because of testing, transitions and paperwork, but really struggle because of testing and transitions.

I want to be gardening. Instead, I am about to drive across town to get files I forgot at work so I can work from home today for free.

I am truly the most exhausted I have ever been. Teaching is not sustainable right now. I’m hoping I can find some balance next year.

About four or five different people today have told me how much they would not want my job. Fun.
