Laura, I just started humming the theme for Gilligan's Island, so no. You are definitely not the only one. I'm reading a great book which is making this whole work thing extra hard to want to engage in. Do you thin anyone woud notice if I just kept reading my digital copy of the book while I make the students do something else?
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

I think that sounds like a fabulous idea, kat. There must be lots of self-guided work those children could do!

JenP, I am making them draft a research paper (2000 words) by hand in pen with no access to tech They've spent 3 weeks taking notes and outlining and this week is writing week. So they don't need me at all.
BUT, and this is a significant but, my eyes are fubar at work. Reading on screens that aren't eink are killlllling me. I have stopped reading to write a little and I can't see across the classroom. So much eye fatigue. Bodies aging are tricky beasts.
