After semester report cards came out I got more phone calls from parents than ever before. Most of them just used me as a liaison between them and their child’s teachers and I made connections for them. One of them, after seeing straight F’s on the report card that their child earned, wanted to know [...]
That splatting sound you hear is the proverbial shit hitting the proverbial fan. Restructuring efforts at my district were reported out to our schools yesterday and the effects are varied and widespread.

In August it seemed impossible to me that I would get to this point. The place where I would, in my new position, realize that I couldn’t save every student, that I would get here. It was never my intention to arrive at this destination, but here I am. Most of my days are filled [...]
Is it me or did the barista call me a skank when I ordered my skinny sugar-free vanilla latte today?
