Teaching in the Inner City



I'm at school and, because of teacher absences and a shortage of substitute teachers, I will not have a prep period. Now I've been told that I need to supervise my students during lunch. If I need to use the restroom before 3:45 I'm in trouble. It's like working at Wal-Mart. Yesterday I was the acting principal (again, due to absences). I tried to use my power to start summer vacation early, but I don't think it worked.




One reason that we're short today is a friend of mine here was hospitalized. I think this post summarizes my professional experience right now: sucky, but always aware that someone's having a worse time of it than me.




But, I recorded another song, exercised, ate taquitos and watched The Office, so there was coolness yesterday too.

I don't hear anything when I try to play your songs.
