A Pedagogue's Progress

This Friday

I'm surprisingly calm about this Friday. The results are a fait accompli, I don't have a Civics class to return results to (next year will be very different), and I'm only responsible for half their History grade. Plus, I have other things to worry about, like marking. Maybe I'll be sleepless on Thursday night, but I doubt it, since Thursday is a long day.

I'll be happy if those who deserve an A get an A. That's a lot of people. Of course, many who don't deserve one will get one, and a few who do will not. That last bit is what will be really upsetting.

It would be nice if, in your happiness (or even your sadness), you say hello to your ex-tutors and thank them for their efforts. No need for flowers or champagne. Just a simple "Thank you" will do.
