Toady is the fist weekend after the students came back to school. It also happens to be Labor Day weekend. I made quite a few discoveries this past week. First, I discovered that for some reason teaching is harder than it was last year. That doesn't shock me much though. Last year was harder than that year before. And so on. It's because of TAKS and other other such things as NCLB.
But one thing never changes. That's the excitement I feel when I see for the first time faces of my new class of ninth graders. They come in not quite knowing what to expect, but they plan to do well. Everyone of them come in with an attitude of this is going to be their best year yet. Its my job to help them succeed in that mission. I intend to do my very best.
