On a lighter note (whew, you're saying!)

Teachers have to remember what power they hold over the young ones. On Friday night, one of the girls - the more pixie-ish one - spent the whole evening trying to convince us to call her Hailey. I wasn't entirely sure where that came from, but then in a later conversation it all became clear. The kids were discussing what their schedules were like - what special classes then had on which days - and it turned out that the new media teacher was named Miss Hailey.
