Teaching, as you know, is often a thankless job. Randomly you might get an atta girl thrown at you but other than that you don't get a lot of positive feedback. Unless of course, “I hate homework” is positive feedback. So when I started to get comments on my blog I was just giddy. Wow, positive feedback...and the actual day I post. But sadly there is some feedback I never get and wish I would. You might be surprised at the amount of email I answer a day. Sometimes I am even surprised. I always try and help when I can and I try and be honest when I can't. No super woman here. But so many times after I get the email and help the person, I never hear from them again.

Just keep that in mind, because you want to know the difference between a HOCKEY MOM and a HOCKEY PLAYER...I can kick your ass. Big time (of course if you shoot me from a helicopter you might have the slight advantage). So keep away from my teams. If the Flyers gave you a jersey...don't wear it. Go to Detroit and jinx the Wings please. See, not much love from the Flyers Fans...it's the first thing that popped up when I … [Read more...]
