Well, I was called numerous times by the Jr. High. The worst stint was the last week of school for the choir director, who had to leave town for national guard duty. So in this class I had students who varied from intense music lovers and wonderful singers, to those stuck in the class because no other elective was available. My notion that "we could all get along" was quickly discarded in the face of students answering to the wrong names, laughing behind my back because I didn't know who was who. . . (or should that whom was whom?). Anyway, with nothing to teach them. . . . no test to prepare for. . . .no concert looming in their future. . .I decided to get a few musicals to watch. If students didn't want to join in this but would rather visit, they were excused to one of the practice rooms. I felt very beat up at the end of THAT week. Give me the elementary school. . .they love us over there.<BR/><BR/>Welcome back.ltandjbcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029663944040137413noreply@blogger.com
