]]> Comment on parent-teacher conferences by Adelaide http://ahurricane08.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/parent-teacher-conferences/#comment-44 Adelaide Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:42:19 +0000 http://ahurricane08.wordpress.com/?p=43#comment-44 Round one down... I hope your parent teacher conferences went ok. I found all the parents to be extremely supportive, even though practically all of their students failed. You should be extremely proud that most of your students are doing very well! Round one down… I hope your parent teacher conferences went ok.

I'm working has hard as I heard I had to work. As for my home life, I can't say the same. I only see my boyfriend an average of twice a week. His work schedule as a musician and recording engineer is a lot different than mine. He normally gets home after midnight. I know if I was doing any other job I would get to see him at night when he gets home but even on the weekends when I don't have to get up early I'm too tired to stay up to see him most of the time. I haven't eaten a meal with him in over a week and last time I did eat with him was at the studio he works at. It hasn't had any long lasting effects on our relationship yet but it's definitely not the ideal situation. Onestar: I originally was planning on using an electronic gradebook but my AP wants us to do everything in excel. :( They are behind on the times in this area unfortunately. One of the teachers convinced her to let him try it out and he is going to hopefully show her how great they can be so next year we can all use it. Until then I'll be using excel and crafting amazing formulas to calculate my grades for me! Bronx2020:
