Today is the day of our bomb scare. As mentioned earlier, some idiot scratched a threat into the wall of one of the bathroom stalls--a girl's bathroom.
Lot's of kids stayed home today. I am sitting here in class with about 75 percent of the students absent.
I was mean. I made my students actually work in my first hour class. Now, in second hour, we went over the questions, with the four students who are not taking advantage of the situation, I talked about a few things, and am allowing some time for makeup work on a project. Three of the four needed that.
We'll see how the day goes. Word on the street has it that more are disappearing during the day. "My friends aren't here, Mom, so could you call me out.
Funny story--in first period, one of my students was talking about how mean his mother was. As she was dropping him off this morning, Norman said, "Mom, I'm afraid, don't make me go to school today!" To which mom replied, "Don't worry, if anything happens, I've got several spares at home!"
