Responsibility

I was all set to skip school tomorrow - call in sick and try to get caught up, but then I realized that my kids actually need me to be there tomorrow. They made plans to stay after school, because I told them they needed to, and if I don't show up, I'll never get them to come back again. So I have to go to school. So what if I didn't grade the binders, and if I didn't get the chance to, or rather couldn't bring myself to make some solid lesson plans for tomorrow. It's better that I go in there and wing it then if I just skip out altogether. It was a strange epiphany, though, that the kids actually rely on me.

One goal for next year - I need to keep on on grading and make my grading system more transparent.
