Had a Monday morning staff meeting at the southern California public high school at which I work. I feel like it's the same meeting I've been going to for years: Doom and gloom, the nation is falling apart, no moral fiber, angry teachers, angry union members, test scores, intervention models!
I'm grateful to get back to my classroom, and teach my students. While some of their GPA's are low, I assure you that this bunch will be just fine when they're my age.
