Not lowering the standards pushed him forward more than he believed he was capable of. It matters that he understood it and wrote to you.<br />Friday is almost here. Have a peaceful holiday season.

It's a marvelous story, & good, good, good for you for sticking to the rules. If you had made him the exception, it would have told him he wasn't good enough to meet the expectations. I would say from the e-mail, lesson learned!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-59292308774061068882011-12-20T21:43:18.103-06:002011-12-20T21:43:18.103-06:00Well, you've had your hands full...but you'...Well, you've had your hands full...but you've managed to hang on to your spirit of optimism and enthusiasm.

But you know how writing goes....<br /><br />I'd still like to write about some of these. maybe during break! We are in school through Thursday, so don't expect to see anything until then.<br /><br />Pink Scribbles--you are more than welcome to come and visit my room while you are home on break. You won't see a "master teacher" sharing their notebook and all their wisdom, though. Instead, you will see a writer learning about her tools and experimenting with them! Let me know if you want to come!

I think I thought everyone was finished for their break last Friday. Your notebook looks great & should be a boost for the students, and your web site is terrific. I like the book links & the quote & the poll (although I couldn't see it). Good luck with English 9. And I have used your first quote several times for others at school-it certainly speaks to me, so thanks Deb.
