teaching drama
Oy vey, teaching is so much harder when it's the end of the quarter (trimester, semester, grading period, etc). All the kids run up to you and freak out. Example:
Girl in class: "What's my grade?! My dad will take away my car if I don't have a 3.0, can I do extra credit?!"
Me: "What, now?"
GiC: "Yes!!! Today!!"
Me: "....write me a paragraph in past-tense Spanish and I'll give you a few more points?"
GiC: "Thank you! You're the best ever!!" *hug*
And now PowerSchool (the grading system) isn't working, natch. As if it would work right when it's really needed. *sigh*
