you can call me ms. anderson

week 3...

2 of my kids have been sent to AEP (alternative education)
just this week, 7 are in ISS (in school suspension)
1 girl is pregnant (7th grade!)
countless failed their TAKS benchmark last week
(if they don't pass the one in april, they don't go onto the next grade)

whoa.

its so crazy to me that this school is right where i grew up. where'd it come from?

but also...

alexus talked to me about her church.
i'm jennifer and lindsay's "fave teacher."
every kid in my 1st period did their homework last night!
i made friends with part of the "mexican mafia" and they say hi to me in the halls.
i got a room of 19 boys (plus 4 sweet girls) to focus.
and paige and i do her homework everyday because she doesn't want zeros.

its the little rays of sunshine in my day that make me think i could actually do this.
