omorkaI got my official tentative assignment for next year today.
2 sections AP Statistics, 3 sections Pre-AP Precalculus, 1 section on-level Precalculus.
Go look at my post for November 25th. I'll wait.
Off by one section, in my favor yet. Not bad, ne?
You Asked For It . . .
I gave the full hypercube talk to 3A today. The kid who plays the French Horn spent about an hour early this week just dumping to me about his life issues. The ADHD Kid is considering not ditching my Alg. II exam, despite the fact that he's failing badly and would have to ace the exam to pass, because I gave him The Eye of Death. I told all my kids they'd have to suffer through another year of me next year and they cheered, by the gods!
At the ritual at the pseudo-3G retreat in August, I asked to be able to be myself with my kids, to be able to develop the personal relationships with them I needed to really teach them, despite all my closets.
. . . You Got It.
I suspect - I don't know, but I feel - I have one more left. "You can't get what you want 'till you know what you want." I have to be very careful what I articulate. Loosely, I know which of two things I will need to set out - working towards Initiation and hammering out this relationship mess into a shape everyone involved is happy with. Either one will involve dominoing other people into my issues. Not that the above two didn't . . . but in the first one, Mr. H and Ms. S had already decided they were going, and Mrs. B's decision to go to Taylor was of her own free will, not for anything I did. In the second, I hadn't even met my kids yet - and that was mostly a change in myself. These involve (at the very least) the entire coven, on the one hand, and the Spouse and One Other Person Who I Am Trying Very Hard Not To Make A Specific Person on the other.
I'm being careful what I wish for.
