A lot's been happening

1) I have a meeting with them soon. The important thing will be to come across as reasonable and firm at the same time. I'm prepared to be not so nice if I have to. Must learn from others. This could be a major turning point.

2) The Art Auction was a success. While the amount of money raised was perhaps less than what we hoped, the students learned so much from organising it. As I told them after the Auction, I've been privileged to work with such an multi-talented, tireless, and high-spirited bunch of people. If I was more efficient than usual in handling the administrative work, it's because I didn't want to disappoint them.

3) I had the opportunity to talk to some parents earlier today, before the Auction. I told them that their children were too good for scholarships and that working for the government would benefit largely the government and not them. (Teaching at RJC and perhaps teaching in general are exceptions to this observation.)
