i hate to post two t.g.i.f.'s in a row...especially because the tone of them is usually pretty negative, but isn't that what the expression t.g.i.f. is about? here goes...
this week i have handed in ten college recommendation letters, calculated and submitted mid-term grades for four classes of students, hung a new show in the school gallery, and had two days of parent-teacher conferences, 8am-6pm both days (more on all this in posts coming this weekend). for now i leave you with a few inspiring quotes from parents i've seen over the last two days...
"she has it pretty easy this term because she's only taking three classes....well, plus art."
"i know he wants to go to art school, but, well, you know it's just too difficult to make a life as an artist."
"maybe if you could just offer her some encouragement and positive reinforcement."
"is the art grade weighted as much as the other grades he gets?"
"she responds better if she feels like her teachers respect her."
there were plenty of tears, funny stories, and good moments too. i'll write about them over the weekend...but these quotes best represent the taste i have in my mouth as i trudge home tonight.
