Spring Semester

Last week in January:  No new schedule.

Decision is made to change classes after Winter Break to accommodate school-wide events.

 New schedules are promised for 1st week in February.  

We are now 1 day away from vacation and I have no idea what classes I am teaching on the Monday we return.

I don't know the grades.  I don't know the days or times.  I therefore don't know the rooms/equipment available for said classes.  My lesson plans are completely dependent on this information.

Obviously, I cannot plan.

After many weeks and many requests for the information...I officially give up!

I will not spend my vacation worrying about the deficiencies of those chosen to lead.  I will not worry about what to do with my classes on February 22nd.   I'm thinking we should all just put our heads down for an hour. 

Snow Drift Thursday

Apparently our M4L lives in the land of delusion, where streets are plowed, sidewalks shoveled, and curbs passable.    If only I could afford to live there as well.

3 foot snow drifts, and snow plows re-plowing them in just before the bus arrives!

The NYC Housing Authority didn't seem to see the need to shovel the pathways through their properties.

Today's commute: treacherous!
