I planned to take the day off today for quite some time. Something about an impending absence makes you very excited and anxious at the same time. "Will my kids be ok?" Probably. "Will they do the work I left?" HUGE maybe. "Will there even be a sub?" I hope so, but maybe not. Subs don't like coming to my school. "Will they give the sub problems?" No...well except 6th period. They don't like strangers.
I came in this morning because a student asked me to come for tutoring. Has he ever been in for tutoring? Once. By accident. Do I believe he is coming? NOPE. Then why am I here? I'm here because I want to be here for that student no matter what. On the off chance he does actually come, I want to teach him. He deserves for me to be here even if he lets me down. It's not about me, it's about him.
Silver lining? A random kid who I hadn't even planned on showed up and is now doing make up work. Glad I came in. I feel like a teacher today.
