Too Much Information

I work and I work till I nearly am dead,
And could say what the watchman said—that I could!
But still, with a sigh and a shake of the head,
“You don’t understand,” it is ruthlessly said,
“The properly scholarly attitude—
The aye to be sought for, wrought for and fought for,
The ne’er to be caught for, properly scholarly attitude—”


from The Proper Scholarly Attitude, by Adelaide Crapsey


Having not taught this grade before, and having gone for many years since my last classroom teaching position, it feels a bit like drinking from a firehose at the minute. Still much to do to get ready and the day is fast approaching.
