PLC Softening?

For the last months, I have worked on getting APN up and running for 2018. It looks like everything is a go at this point. There were times when I questioned my sanity, dreamed of grade point averages and satisfactory marks, and wondered what on Earth I was doing. I was a petulant child, a genius, King Solomon, and the town fool–sometimes all at once. But I got it done and maybe now I can grade all the papers that got pushed aside for the last two days.
And, don’t think I don’t know how to write. That was the old “hook.” You may not like my sentence structure, or some subjects, but I used the first person too many times early for a reason–not many things get done at school without some compromise, without some time and effort, and without some others to help. I create lesson plans, quizzes, tests, and I’m up there alone in front of my students. Don’t make me go John Donne, though. Too late.
No man is an island. Holy Mackerel, the time and effort that OTHERS put in to make APN happen for next year is something I never saw coming, expected, or will forget. I will not mention the people publicly here, but they know, because they went above and beyond the call of just being a colleague in these recent days.
That’s my PLC moment for this year, and I owe a lot of people for it. Some of the people aren’t going to see my payback coming, others might think I have a hidden agenda. Really? Me? A hidden agenda? I haven’t missed a day of school or a day-of-school post here–you got me confused with some other guy if you think I’m hiding something.
Professional Learning Community. If some impartial observer had seen what went down for the last three days, they would have seen highs and lows, give and take, compromise, a wide range of emotions, but forward movement. That last thing is never bad.
I will sleep like the dead tonight!
