Still no word on the charter school job. I promise; as soon as I hear something, I’ll toss up a post here, even if I have to do it via my phone.
Here’s today’s Grammar Wednesday puzzle. Can you tell me what’s wrong with this picture?
I stumped a couple of former students with it yesterday, but [...]
I’m putting this post up at both The Blue Door and A Teacher’s Education, because I have the same story to tell, but I’m not sure that all of you cross over.
My interview ROCKED. I left with the distinct impression that I’ll be offered the job, though I have to admit that I’m not entirely [...]
Guess what I’M doing this morning. Yep, that’s right, boys and girls; Mrs. Chili is going on a job interview. I’ve put on nice capri trousers and a pretty sleeveless sweater (with a jacket, of course) and I’m even considering mascara (those of you who know me in real life know that make-up is only [...]
… two days early.
I COULDN’T wait to post this.
Here’s the scene; I’m at the computer waiting for the oven to beep telling me that the brownies are done, the girls are busy trying to move the huge box that the grill came in up to their room so they can turn it into a fort, [...]

I’ve only heard back from one of place, and I’m suspecting it’s an automated “we got your resume” sort of email; there is nothing about it that distinguishes it as [...]
This isn’t so much an error, really, as it is funny.
Mr. Chili called me on Monday to tell me that I needed to drive to the middle school, and that I needed to bring my camera.
He had brought Punkin’ Pie to school and was laughing that it looked as though the person who put up [...]
I was at Local U., walking in front of a college student on my way back to my car the other day and listening to her talk to someone on the phone.
“So, David was like “where do you want to go?” and I was like, “I don’t know. I DON’T want to go to Lisa’s” [...]
As I was sitting at the table last night trying to put together another few weeks’ worth of lesson plans, Mr. Chili wandered over and mentioned that I might want to restrict the number of films I actually show in class.
His point – and I think it’s an entirely valid one – is that students [...]
I don’t know how many of you would remember, but a while ago, I posted some musings about a film as literature course that I want to design to put in my arsenal of teaching ammo. As I get ready to fire off my resume to a couple of different institutions of higher learning, I [...]
Stop me if you think I’m wrong, but it seems to me that, given the ease of modern communication systems, it would be the exception rather than the rule that people in professional positions NOT respond promptly to emailed requests or concerns.
TWICE I have sent out emails – properly and politely worded but with no [...]
