Another day without students - apparently not only are the heaters not working, but a pipe burst, flooding the gym and the basement. There is no telling when we'll be able to be back in the building, though we were optimistically told tomorrow. As it was, it was a day of meeting about tests and lesson planning, then a long lunch that lasted into the afternoon.
I'm feeling listless and a bit purposeless about it. I haven't seen a number of my students since last Monday, and miss them a bit. I actually got an e-mail from a student today that read, "If we have a snow day tomorrow, I'm showing up at your house and demanding you teach me something."
Unfortunately, I'm guessing we'll have a snow day. It's the first time I can remember in recent years when I'm really rooting against it, simply because I'm craving some time with the kids right now.

I'm rooting for it - I'm so swamped with schoolwork and it's only the 3rd week of class!
I'll bet those are the students that make the job worthwhile. What a nice email. :)
As an ordained reverend, I attend many clergy meetings/functions/protests/rallies, etc.
At one of the more recent meetings that I attended the Mayor addressed us and one of my clergy colleagues asked about when the boilers would be fixed. He was distressed that the school in the quandry was one of the better schools of the city that was forced to close.
The Mayor gave the "official" statement that people were looking into it and things would be turned around asap.
Have you gotten any word as to when things will get back to normal or have you all already gone back and I just didn't catch it?
We made it back, and the heaters worked, but then we were hit with the snow/ice storm so things aren't quite back to normal.
