Today marks day five that I have had seniors in my class this semester. I have received 920 pages of homework to date, including 350 pages of summer projects. In addition, students will turn in 400 pages of free-writing journal entries tomorrow and 90 pages of vocabulary journals.
I read somewhere that Jimmy Carter failed to thrive because he brought 400 pages a day from the West Wing to read before bedtime. He became overwhelmed.
Although I have deep respect for President Carter as a tireless humanitarian and dedicated advocate for peace in Israel and Egypt, there is no way the machinations behind the Camp David Peace Accord were any more convoluted than the arguments in the essays I have encountered this week.🤓
But the students themselves are awesome!
