Didn’t say “ass” though. Or maybe I did… I can’t remember, my “summer” brain must be kicking in. I have a week of appointments, I have turned down the summer “learning” opportunities–not because they’re not good but because I don’t want 5 in-person meetings for 2 hours each–that is not 2 hours, it’s 4 hours a day because of drives and BS time en route to and after meeting (I always think in dispatch time). So, 20 hours. I’m really a learn online/read type person these days. I do it at 4AM. I’m hoping our concept of PD changes to be flexible.

Anyway, my summer will be filled with learning, remembering how to spell my own son’s name, and, oh–you forgot to mention most teachers have a couple summer jobs. I’m no exception. I love them, would probably work them for free, but it’s still a 52 week work year for me:)

Great post.
