Never a dull day

When people ask me about my job, my standard response is "It's never boring!" There is often too much to sum up how I feel about it. I love my students, sometimes it takes effort and some days it is easy. Today was easy. Every day starts off well, I have the best advisory ever. I have around 20 students in my advisory but I often have almost double that number of students. I'm only sorry that they are seniors and this is my last year with them. After that, I spent periods one through seven on a field trip--Tennessee Williams' play "Vieux Carre." While not my favorite play of his, it was well acted and I liked the set. The students were phenomenal--the play brought up just about every touchy and difficult subject known to man and they handled it so responsibly. I was so proud to be their teacher.

Yesterday I was less proud. This was the scene outside of my school yesterday. All those white cars, yep, police, 18 in total plus 2 ambulances. We had a "free-for-all" as the kids would say.
