Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

I think failing a kid for using IDK on an answer where they were told to be clever is more extreme than I'd go personally. In situations like that I have just opted not to grade the paper and said that the child would have a zero until things were done correctly. It's the same short term result with the net long term possibility of fixing it and redemption in general.

I think that's a good and clear way of doing it. It's the lack of clearly stated expectations for what is failure that grate at me. You want to enforce your expectations? Communicate them first. Say what you've got a zero tolerance policy about FIRST. Otherwise, the leg you're standing on is hollow and riddled with termites.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm a little concerned that we're attacking Aims' sister, who is not here, so Aims is getting the brunt of the whole thing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

and your husband.

Heh. We have a "Good-bye Agreement" for him. Bless him for being so supportive of me doing it. He knows how much pain it is carting these puppies around.

I just massacred a plate of bacon and sausage and hash browns and scrambled eggs. It was a sodium and cholesterol bomb. I'm not going to be able to eat anything but fruit & veg for the rest of the day.

Sara, that's awesome!
