I wish I had thought about my students giving me a report card.

You are one brave teacher. I used to have students in my confirmation class turn in seermon summarys based on the previous Sunday’s sermons. I quit when it became apparant they were not hearing what I was saying. They would choose bits and pieces and make them the center. Either I was a lousy preacher or they were bad listeners. In either case I gave it up.

Dr. John, the very first post about the Liar’s Contest said midnight, Friday. I am sticking to that. I am sorry for any later typos. I am date challenged. (Hmmm, in more ways than one — and no cracks from the peanut gallery.)

Jon — thank you. And thank my students for making it possible — last year’s group was especially extraordinary.

Dr. John, voting closed at midnioght on Friday — though I actually didn’t vclose the polls until 8a.m. Saturday morning — don’t worry, unless you really wanted to beat Lori.

Stay tuned the results will be posted Sunday afternoon or evening.

Okay, I went to Belle of the Brawl and voted for you – when I left you were up by 100. I’ll check back after I get the bulletins done and vote some more.

I have been over to Sar’s blog to say hi and where you graciously asked me to vote for you, “It is Done”

If I took the quiz to see what kind Of Sports car I’d be, I’d probably turn out to be an Edsel

Later

I am hoping you will forgive me for this shameless bit of self-promotion, but I am trying to win a contest here -- two in fact! One for the best picture caption; one for the most shameless self-promotion (I am also hoping it is the most effective self- promotion.) Go to Belle of the Brawl and vote for Quilldancer! Don't even look at the other captions. Just trust me when I tell you mine is the best! But please, do say hello to Belle Sar while you're there - -and be sure to tell her Quilly sent you. Thanks!

You remind me of my (now) favorite teacher. In elementary school (and junior high and high school), I always liked/wanted the “easy” teachers…but now that I’m older and more or less grown-up, the one I really remember is Mrs. Foltz. She actually made us learn and develop a work ethic. Assignments were dues on time, no excuses, etc. Just amazing!

It sounds like you had a special class with these kids- I’m sure they will always remember you with affection and respect as well as among the best teachers they ever had. We found out last week at the drivers meeting that we will be getting “report cards” very soon. It will not be our own bosses who will “grade” us though. It will be bosses from the other Regionals and perhaps some from Rochester as well. We will not know when they are on our bus. I’m looking forward to finding out my “grade” but I do kind of wish they would let our passengers do some of the judging too.

Brian, I know the split personality thing, I am Quilldancer and Disciple

Melli, after 10 years of doing this, I pretty much know what the kids are going to say. Occassionally one suprises me with a greater insight, but for the most part their criticism is pretty shallow. A few years ago one kid suggested the students would like me better if I wore cooler shoes.

I am pretty sure I wouldn’t open myself up to criticism from high schoolers. First off, I remember being that age, and the mind set would be to deliberately say something mean with just enough truth in it to really sting. Nope, nope — I dis myself enough. Don’t need their help.

Peace out, Homey.

Awwww that is GREAT! What a fabulous idea! You wouldn’t wanna try that in High School though! Well… maybe… but you would wait 4 years to read them!!! LOL!
