Coming Up for Air

Towards the end of Spring Break, the baby started getting very sick. A visit to the doctor did not result in any progress on the wellness scale... On Monday, I got a call from the daycare saying that the baby's temperature was pretty high and rising. Luckily, the day was almost over. Another teacher covered the last half hour of my class and I rushed off to the doctor again.

It was pneumonia. Just a small spot, but definitely not good. We got a stronger antibiotic and spent Tuesday going crazy. Ok, just I went crazy. The baby just cried and slept.

Today we sat outside in the sunshine, free of fever, coughing and best of all... snot!

In the meantime, school is rolling on as normal. There are 10 weeks left and I'm really wishing that I hadn't been told that. I'm wanting summer already! and I shouldn't even be thinking about it yet.

These days it’s from adults trying to navigate the education scene these days. So many people talking and no one listening. The other day I was reading a post by a blogger I’ve been following for several years. Before there was such a thing as “blogging.” We all know spring is IEP review season. This blogger wrote about his daughter’s. Among the various elements, there was the discussion about the state assessment tests. She did not pass. There was discussion about what this means… and why said student needed to pass this test. Would she be taking a modified test? While reading, all I could think about was what would happen to that child as she entered middle school and high school. A history of not passing the assessment test vs. teachers who will now be evaluated on how many students pass t...
