Making an APN list is not an easy task.
I gained a new respect for my colleagues and bosses today, though, because they gave up a ton of their time for me, Gillian, and APN. I didn’t agree, and still don’t, with some of their points and criteria, but, at some point, there is that moment where you have to make a decision and stand by it. And I KNOW that some of my points probably sounded completely ridiculous, too, but the three hours after school says a lot. I am actually hopeful that the numbers–and we talked NUMBERS today–have worked themselves out and we can move forward.
But, oh my goodness, I am gassed. Yeah, it’s 8:30 at night and I’m usually done with writing by 3;30. Not today.
My students whined today because I gave them work. If they only knew what went on with the adults today, they might want to step up their grit game.
We’ll see about tomorrow. I’m going to slip into a teacher coma right now.
