Mid-conference blogging

Okay, yeah, I feel sort of obligated to write more now, which is fine. I get busy and forget, but I love to write. I also feel obligated to be interesting and possibly even funny. For me, that stuff happens pretty spontaneously, so it's pretty hard for me to try to do either. But I'll give it a shot.

Starting tomorrow. Tonight is parent conferences. I enjoy parent conferences. I do not, however, particularly enjoy being at school from 8 in the morning until 9 at night. I therefore suggest that conferences be held someplace more comfortable and that there be food and open bar. Cocktail Conferences. Yeah, that's it.

Or not, aside from the long day part of it. I do enjoy talking about what I do and about my students. I like hearing from the parents what their kids think about the class and about math, and it puts the students in a different context, which is always enlightening in some way.

I am noticing that I am now older than a lot of the parents. Not sure if they think so, I don't look quite my age, but I'm increasingly aware of it.

I had all of my conferences in a room where I had my last period class, tutored after school, and have my first and third period classes tomorrow. So I hope you'll excuse any disorientation on my part in the morning. I'll try to make it interesting and funny.
