students

When I was in high school, a teacher told me she lay awake at night worrying about me. I snarked to myself that it was much more than I did. I can sort of understand now, I think. I worry about my students. I especially worry that so very many of them are failing. I'm not grading hard--honest! They're just not coming to class and not turning in work. This makes me extremely sad. It makes me feel like I'm failing them, even though they're really the ones failing me.
