Next year, I will again be teaching (or trying to) 10th and 11th graders, while watching my favorite students, who I’ve taught for the past two years, move on to AP Lit. It is not a happy day. My C and D students are being set up for failure, all in the name of a school grade.
It’s enought to make you lose hope.

I had a dream last night that I gave birth. Apparently, there was something wrong with the baby, and it didn’t make it. The nurses covered for this mistake by giving me a different baby- a cabbage patch doll. Later, the cabbage patch doll turned into a beautiful baby boy with red hair and green eyes- “after his mother,” my husband said in his brief cameo.
When I woke I had a terrible desire for a baby and a wonderful terror for cabbage patch dolls.
