Okay, so it's getting kinda late for me (I hate getting up so early in the morning!), but realized that there were some things that needed to be added before I forget about them.
Well, grade checks were out 2 weeks ago, and any athlete with a D or an F was put on a warning list. I had about 6 of my soccer players on the list. Last Friday the ineligibility list came out. Those with a D or F were given a week to raise them, and if you still had an F, you became ineligible to play this coming week. I still have 2 of my players on the list. One of them has 2 F's. I don't know what to do as far as making him leave the team or not. I know for sure that they are not playing in the game tomorrow, but they wouldn't be able to do it anyway. I think we're going to have to have a talk. He assured me last week that he had gotten both of the grades up. I guess that I'm prolly going to have to make him get me a progress report from his teacher showing me that the grade is indeed up.
On Thursday, a gun was found on a student before school. They told us about it after school. I guess this kid brought a 25 mm. It wasn't loaded, and he didn't have any bullets, which is a good thing. I hear that that student won't be back at our school this year.
I had a ton of grading to do this weekend, and of course I didnt' get it all finished. I wish that I had a bit more time or that I didn't have so many darned things to do. I know that if I weren't coaching that I would have at least 2 extra hours a day. But I really enjoy coaching. Now the urban learning community is going to be starting, and that's 6 hours a week....3 hours on Mondays (which I'll have to miss with my games for the next like 3 weeks) and 3 hours on Saturday mornings. There goes my sleeping in. I'm still trying to decide if I should do it or not. We'll see. There's some information that I would like to get, plus it would be a huge bump in my salary for next year.
Anyway, I'm starting to crash, I should go get my stuff picked up and head off to slumber so that I'm at least partially rested for tomorrow!
