Sure, she calls me. Frequently. I work just about every day. But how else do I explain this wake up call?
"Could you cover four days...in opportunity?"
NOOOOOOO!
(Last week, Monday was a holiday. Otherwise, it would have been five days.)
What is opportunity? I think this conversation explains things:
Marcus: I used to be a good kid. It wasn't until I got sent to [alternative placement school] that I turned bad. I started hanging around with those guys. They're not bad guys, but it wasn't until I met them that I started tagging.I've covered these kinds of classes many times before.
Me: Why did you get sent to [alternative placement school]?
Marcus: I brought a knife to school.
The class had four students. Each sat in a different corner of the room.
Oh well. At least they make for interesting blog posts...
Did you say 'opportunity' or 'purgatory'?
ReplyDeleteI wish I had had my blog when I was teaching. That would've been fun. All delinquents, all the time.
Have fun this week.
...Maybe he just needed to cut his sandwich.
ReplyDeleteUm, good luck.
