Thank you! Teaching the 8th grade is kind of a struggle. They are angsty and they can be jerks. But, I work at a snooty private school where a D on a report card is grounds for expulsion, so these kids are all hard workers and for the most part, they are respectful. Granted, I have a few of them who make me want to walk out and not come back but for the most part, I have good kids as students. I would hate to work at a public school with the disrespectful 8th graders there. Ugh.

I just took a professional day today to to get recertified for my teaching license. I hope this is a good omen.
