That's what I call this time of year, the last three weeks or so of school. It certainly is different being on a school schedule. You think you can barely wait for that long break. Makes me wonder how I ever worked year round, the way about this time of year I think maybe I could retire sometime soon. Ha.
So many of my students are the same way and have dropped out, got kicked out, got locked up or just plain quit. We even had two student deaths in our district this year; one a 7 year old boy killed by a pitbull, and a 17 year old driving 100 mph in town. I know there is something I should do/should have done. Research says --blahblahblah-- but guess what, research doesn't know every kid and the myriad of circumstances that lead them to their heart breaking decisions.
Saw my first "summer blockbuster" movie last night, Star Trek: Into Darkness. I hope and think it is getting a new audience that has never seen the TV series or the first generation of movies. I love watching how the young actors play the iconic roles. My favorite has always been Bones. The 'bad guy' was pretty good, not overdone. I would like to see more of him and sure we will. Other than that, without shouting spoiler alert, it was okay. I could always do with less chasing, fighting and shooting, but that's what chick flicks are for.

What do Bones and Mannix have in common? Someone always did crush on the older dudes! Good review--knowing you, it sounds like many would like it who wouldn't expect to.
