We grade them, but we really don't know them.

Congratulations on making it through, and on doing better than you thought with your students. <br /><br />Also -- there are apparently upsides to being unable to sleep at 3 a.m., and answering student emails instead. It isn't insomnia, it's "availability"!

The fact that you were able to make such a positive impact on your students despite a brutal semester outside the classroom speaks volumes about you. Like Wisconsin Will, I'm sorry to read about how many bad things happened. I hope they turn around for you soon.<br /><br />All the best to the readers - enjoy a hard-earned break.Fulton Frednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-38711795988739274262015-12-22T07:08:26.965-05:002015-12-22T07:08:26.965-05:00I hear Adriana's angst and I second it.
What ...I hear Adriana's angst and I second it.<br /><br />What a profession. I often forget how much we have the power to do for students and get caught up in the brutal department infighting. Jesus, it is NOT about who gets the best committees, you know? <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder. Sorry for your hard time...nice to know you still did a great job and showed compassion and strength to your Wisconsin Willnoreply@blogger.com
