Teachers, thank you for sticking with it! You are amazing and your example reminds me to keep on keeping on, with a smile to boot!



You’re welcome!

That being said, June 15 can’t come soon enough.

So happy that concurrent is discarded for next year. Cheating students are in for a treat next year!



I’m thrilled to finally be able to hold lazy and ignorant and arrogant students accountable and be able to NOT pass them as they cheat their way through the class.

I overhear some of the lessons and I know teachers are really trying.


I’m a high school teacher. My kids are awesome. I know they’re tired and over it but damn, they’re still showing up each day, hanging in there with me. I just know I’d have loved teaching them in a “regular” class and hope I get to loop with some of them next year when they move up a grade. All respect in the world to these kids and everything they’ve been through and put up with.


PP here. That's so nice of you to say! I'm a bit sad that my DD didn't have the opportunity to really connect with her teachers and won't get another chance to do so as she is headed to college. I had several wonderful teachers in HS who made such a big impact on me, primarily in the last two years of HS. It's too bad my DD won't have the same. Thank you for your positive attitude, anyway!

And suddenly, there's one teacher I'm not feeling grateful towards.

Pretty good ratio, though. My kids' teachers are awesome.


Probably not an actual teacher, as they are working now.

This. My kids’ APS teachers (middle and high) have been incredible virtually and now hybrid. My kids love them. Some of them are damn near extraordinary.
