The little teacher that probably could, he thinks, maybe

I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can

Literally all I have to do tomorrow is administer the PSAT and be present for (not even really “teach,” it’s the last day of the quarter on a day when I don’t see either of my other classes; no one is expecting pedagogical brilliance here) one single class, on a day before a five-day break where the kids know they’re going to be expected to take a four-hour test and thus will probably just stay home— I bet attendance tomorrow sucks. And then I have a teacher record day where I already have most of my grading for it done, then a four-day break. I can do this. If I didn’t kill anybody today I can make it through a standardized test with my homeroom on a day where I don’t have to see 3rd and 4th hour. Surely.

Yes. Surely.

Teacher, writer of words, and local curmudgeon. Enthusiastically profane. Occasionally hostile.

    1. For whatever it’s worth, it was four tests broken up over four class periods– 55, 30, 20 and 40 minutes. Still a stamina issue, don’t get me wrong, but not nearly as brutal as a single four-hour test.
