It was Friday afternoon of the first week back at school. Week one is difficult for me. My feet start hurting again. My voice falters and Throat Coat is in order. I am tired, even though we just had two weeks off. I know it will be better next week, but it just doesn’t seem right that week one should feel that way.<\/p>\n
The period was just about over. The students were finishing an exit ticket. <\/p>\n
“Mister, where should we put them when we’re done?” someone asked.<\/p>\n
This really shouldn’t be a mystery. We had exit tickets last semester. They went in the turn-in box every time. But, it’s a new semester, a new year. <\/p>\n
“Right over here,” I said. (I was standing near the classroom door which is where the turn-in boxes are — one for each period.) “Right here in the number 7 slot.”<\/p>\n
“Seven!?” someone said. “It’s fifth period Mr. Hasan, not seventh.” Half the class was staring at me.<\/p>\n
