Yay, Chikat!
That was an interesting day's worth of reading to catch up on - love the teacher talk.
I spent most of the day, er, resting. OK, catching up on sleep from Thursday night's lack thereof. Feeling surprisingly unbleary, considering. Thanks again for all the "yay"s - they are great to see!
One of my loaner customers got pinched for DUI.
In our car.
Which is now impounded.
They are forever banned from getting loaners.
Hec, have you felt some relief with your writing, now that Emmett is back at school?
Definitely. Also, JZ is clearly not in need of me hovering around here every minute so I go off on most days when Emmett's in school.
I grew up with Junior High school being from 7-9th grades. That seems about right, though there's no getting around the fact that 8th graders are pure evil.
We already have a shitload: me, Kristin, ChiKat, Gris, Kat, Emily...am I missing anyone?
Uh...Fay? ND also teaches quite a bit. DXM and Scrappy
used
to be teachers.
Hi all! Welcome, SCube!
Laura, I know I missed the whole discussion, but I was pretty much exceptional but unmotivated for years before they figured out that there was also ADD in the mix -- as a result, I've done a lot of thinking over the years about coping strategies for both kinds. I'd be happy to bounce some thoughts around just as soon as I stop focusing on that shiny thing over there....
Meanwhile, I spent the entire day being abused by a tiny and frighteningly exuberant Frenchman. Brilliant fencing coach, but I'm utterly exhausted and I've had my share of extravert for the month... and yet I'm going back for more of the same tomorrow.
Hey, Hec -- are you home and phone-call-able right now?
Thanks for all the congrats, y'all. I'm excited, but I'm also scared and nervous as this is all becoming Real.

aurelia teaches during the summer, too.
Huh. I'm wondering if I should respond to this ad: [link] . I could certainly use the money, but something about the wording is hitting me the wrong way.
Chiming in as a former teacher.
The "females preferred" kinda puts me right off, Hil.

One thing that pings me:
"females preferred"
Why do they care for a tutor in advanced math? Also using the word "female" instead of women. I know standard terminology in apartments for rent. In employment NSM.

heh. X-post
