I'm tired of writing about how I don't write in my blog anymore. So I am promising my self to write something every day, even if it's not significant, just to get my writing needs satisfied.
This week was the first chapter of the second volume of the Barrack School Year 2015-16 trilogy. I got a new class, with 16 students, almost none of whom I know. It's hard for a student to understand how exciting and terrifying that is for a teacher. I don't mean that I'm scared by it, but I get the kind of terror that actors describe getting before going on stage. Are they going to like me? Am I going to like me? Am I going to like them?
The last question isn't really a question. Even the most challenging class is stimulating and enjoyable for me. If you asked me for a preference between teaching middle versus upper school, I'd always say upper school. But I am hugely enjoying my 7th grade class, as I've enjoyed every 7 grade class I've taught.
Meanwhile, I need to write report cards. So the genesis of starting to blog again is procrastinating other writing. That's okay; whatever work.
