It's 6:00 pm, and here I still sit at work. I've already been here for 10 hours and will stay for another 2. It's parent-teacher conference (joy). Actually it's "student led conferences" which is a little different. Because of the altered schedule, I get to stay in my room, and not as many parents come talk to me. This means I have extra prep time, but it also means that I still have to be here. Good thing I brought my book
I work at Union Middle School. Yes, you heard me correctly, middle school. I already know that I'm crazy, don't remind me. I spend my days with 12-15 year olds, possibly the most unpredictable and awkward people in all the world. I teach choir, guitar, and general music. Every day is an adventure.

Oh, the memories of parent teacher conferences. You have my deepest sympathies. I'm so proud that you're a middle school teacher! You are definitely a warrior of reason in a sea of hormone-driven, awkward small people who think they're adults. You're pretty much my hero.
I can totally relate! I taught middle school math and science for a year when we were on Grand Cayman at a Baptist private school, no less! I feel for ya, and I know how everyday can be an adventure!
