When we discuss “norms” in my 12th grade government class, they’re always surprised to learn how many things aren’t written in stone, but rely on people’s good-faith efforts.

(BTW, “Constitution USA” has been a much-used teaching tool, so thanks!)

Here in Mississippi, there are so many people of a certain age who it turns out never supported segregation, no, never! Apparently all the supporters just up and vanished. So odd.

Been teaching for 30 years and have both the I’m-taking-the-test and I’m-giving-the-test stress dreams. The worst are when they combine and somehow I’m in a class with the students I teach. Usually a higher math and now I’m the clueless one. Brutal.

Would have been more sinister if it had blamed a “foreseen incident.”
