Finals!

I am really looking forward to this week. Why, you ask? Because it is finals week.

It is quite perplexing, this feeling of joy stemming from final exam time. A year prior, I was taking other teachers' final exams. Now I am giving them.

Three reasons why finals week is the best work week known to teachers:

1) Half days. We get out at noon!

2) Silent kids. The best way to get kids to calm down is through a test. Even if they don't know anything.

3) No lesson plans required. That's 80% of the teaching battle.


Sweetness.
