I am maintaining my sense of humor, which is stretched very thin at
the moment.
Helping a group of 10th graders with research, hand a book to
student who "can't find ANYTHING in the library on my topic!"
'Here look at this, all the answers you need are in this chapter.'
"You mean I gotta read it?"
'Well, yes. It is a book and you are doing research.'
"Well, that's not gonna help me at all. I need to go find another book
that I don't have to read."
Sigh.
[sound of head banging on desk]
I am so glad tomorrow is a holiday so that I can regroup.Katherine
