Hello Children!
Well, I said I’d post at the end of the last week of the fall semester, but, after furiously grading all of your papers and your final exams and concluding all of my business at school before the break, I was pretty well spent and I wanted to do no more than come on home and sleep for a while.
So, I hope that you’ve had a restful break after a long, tough semester of thinking and reading and writing. Just as many of you―freshmen, juniors, and seniors―thought you wouldn’t make it the end of the first quarter last October, almost as many of you didn’t think you’d make it through the second. But lots of you did, and, though I know some of you will be leaving us in T-12 for different challenges in different classrooms with different teachers (some even in different cities), those of you that passed the fall semester with grades you didn’t think you could achieve, should be extremely proud of your efforts.
If you’re a student who didn’t earn the grade you (or your parents) wanted, then I hope you’ll make the most of the opportunities this spring semester will afford you. Remember, you are in charge of your grade―if you desire success you need to secure it by doing the best you can in your studies. And, as always, I’m here to help you in that endeavor as best as I can.
Here’s to a new semester and new challenges. See you on Monday.
PS―I’ve got a bunch of links jamming up my Favorites list, so maybe I’ll post a couple of linkjams in the next few days. Peace!

Woohoo…I worked my butt off and I guess it paid off, I got an A!
