My baby is growing up...

I was convinced she was getting into trouble because she was too quite while I was making dinner. I finally was able to walk away from the kitchen to check on her only to find her quietly playing with her blocks. Will wonders never cease?

We like to think it's just the students

So I know I haven't posted in FOREVER but something happened today that I have to share.

I often spend days, weeks and even entire semesters moaning about how our students never pay attention. While that does tend to be true, today I realized that we never grow out of this.

Right before the semester started I had a meeting for the adjuncts that I coordinate/over see and passed out keys to the new locking file cabinet we are using to store documents. I then emailed all of these adjuncts to remind them of the important things covered during the meeting (and to fill in those who had missed the meeting). I specifically mentioned the new locking file cabinet. I then put short notes in the two rooms in which my labs are taught saying to see me prior to their first class if they missed the meeting.

Today I get a phone call from our secretary because one of the adjuncts wanted to know how to get a key. Seriously????
