Well, there is just one day left for seniors after today. However, this may not be a good thing as I will be failing one senior for the semester if he does not turn in any "make-up" work. Presently he has earned a whopping 37% in Chemistry. This is the first time in my 6.5 years of teaching here that I have had to give a senior failing marks.
On to the Juniors. Apparently they think they have graduated already. Their homework has mysteriously disappeared (they haven't turned it in), and they have decided they don't need to do well on their tests. All this probably shouldn't surprise me because their attitude the whole year has been like this. If it continues, I wonder how many will have to take a 5th year of high school.
Now on to the more interesting news. Our Superintendent came to me today and said he "needed to talk to me". Uh Oh! Well, it turns out that our present Junior High Volleyball coach (who has only had the position for one season), accepted another volleyball coaching position. Previous to the current coach, I held the position for 5 years. Well, it turns out they want me to fill the position again. I'm definitely going to have to think about it. Part of me really wants to take it (the competitive part and the part that enjoyed teaching the kids volleyball) and part doesn't want the job (all the rest of me.) There is another person that has expressed interest in the position, however she has never played or coached volleyball.
