First Snow

Began late last night, still a light fall... maybe 4-5"; add shoveling to my list of TTDs.

Roller-coaster week at work, mainly on the downturn.
Students not performing as they should, and with mid-term reports coming, there is a big scramble to improve grades. Parent contacts- district parents are the worst, but ultimately I stand the ground: either the child wants to learn Spanish or not, and if so, he or she has to work at it. Spanish is not the type of class that one can sit in and just absorb the material. Still, I have realized a number of errors from a trial-error approach, which has resulted in more of an "old school" approach" to the material, and will hopefully show better student performance.

David finished his DCFS classes. He still has to have his physical, and then the home study.
