First Day of School
I was helping at the Junior High on the first and second day of school, helping the newbies (7th graders) get adjusted. Ie. helping open combination lockers and find classrooms. Things I learned:
7th graders don't necessarily know their left from right. Hence, you have to explain how to work the lock by pointing to the direction they need to turn.
Old lockers stick.
Don't put a saxophone in your locker, jam it shut and expect it to open later.
300 kids, four food lines, computer problems and 25 minutes to eat spell disaster. Luckily, the lunch hour was extended and I, as the last to eat was able to finish, albeit, rather quickly.
The new kid is painfully at a disadvantage.
My kids are wonderful. I'm proud of them.
