Survival

I see myself "surviving" this week and next. There is simply no magic here. My students are antsy; the semester end is creeping closer and closer. It is difficult to cultivate deep thoughts in students when they are inundated with projects and papers. I see them surviving, as well. Some will be okay, others will continue to rattle cages.

I have decided to change some of my class policies for the second semester. It will be a tough transition, but the school needs certain things and I know of only a few ways to achieve them. It will be an uphill battle, but I am ready.
