It's gonna be a long year...
Cockroach count: 11
Today's High: 79 (so far... it's only 10:30)
My classroom sucks. I've killed at least one cockroach (huge ones) in each of my classes. Friday, I had one flying in front of the overhead. Flying.
It's also hotter than Hades in here. After two days of sweating my tail off, I decided I would bring a thermometer up to school to see how hot it really was. On Friday, my thermometer was reading 84 degrees by the end of the day. Add 25 kids with that middle-school funk, and my room was an odorific nightmare.
Stellar.

Ugh. Well, at least teachers are well-paid, right? C'mon, when our great prez was Governor of Texas didn't he pass a bunch of legislation to give schoolteachers huge raises?
Oh, wait, I'm thinking about life on some other planet. I think the reality was that he slashed the state education budget to the lowest per-pupil spending level in the nation, right?
Sorry to touch on an undoubtedly sore subject. I know that you know where I'm really coming from. And since you I'm sure you don't hear it enough, thank you for doing what you're doing. My own forays into the front of the classroom and the fact that my mom was a public-school teacher for 25 years mean that you've got my support...
