Monday after a long break is never fun. I had a bunch of no-show kids, which is not bad, and the remaining kids were relatively low-key. Except for my usual suspects.
We had to rush to print grade verifications, since report cards seem to be going out tomorrow (which was news to the principal), which again is stupid since grades closed the end of the day before break, now we have to print out grades (that couldn't have been altered, since the servers shut down) during a busy day. Here is where the ethics come in. I spotted a mistake, but rather than fix it and own up to it, I just ignored it. If anybody ever notices (unlikely), I can/will plead ignorance, but it doesn't negatively affect any students - on the contrary it actually helped some. And the mistake will not happen again with the 4th quarter grades. No harm, no foul.
And then there is the fun email from the Math Supervisor who will be in our school tomorrow and wants to post-review my observation. Good, from a standpoint of constructive criticism, bad from a standpoint of "I have a ton of stuff to do, and this gives me yet another thing to worry about." Except I am not that worried. About much of anything. TCAP in 3 weeks. 14 more school days. One day at a time.
