Today

I have thought today was Friday. All day. It’s not even close. This source of Teacherly Angst brought to you by the letters M, A, and Y, and the number 16. ___ Meanwhile, in the sophomore English classes, I made all kinds of kids squirm when I had them read, study, and analyze both “The

My school desk is a mess. There are fourteen piles of papers on it. And I need all of them to stay there so I can see them: The pile of stuff kids throw on the desk to grade (late) and the pile of common assessments I need to write (large) and the pule of
