Urgh, will Friday ever get here?????????? Just to update everyone - - - - I am a librarian at a Houston suburban high school. This is the first time since God knows when that the week before Christmas holidays (or winter holidays if the term Christmas offends you) is not final exams. That means each and everyday is "a normal school day", no parties, no fun, just TEKS, TEKS, TEKS so they can all pass the TAKS, TAKS, TAKS. When in reality every single DVD/VCR is checked out of the library and teachers are rushing to the video room to have something to show. Luckily, we have no windows for them to jump out of or Black Tuesday of '29 would look pale in comparison.
We have sophomores coming through in herds doing research papers and the kids are like Pavlov's dogs; they are simply going through the motions so they don't get shocked. My library partner and I keep looking at one another and saying "is it Friday yet?". We are just so unmotivated to be here. Our entire lives we've been trained that the week before the holidays is final exams and half days at school, now we are supposed to pretend that everything is normal and just like all the other 187 days of the school year - - - rest assured IT IS NOT!
