Melissa,
What's more, the administration in my school thinks I'm mean too
because I give real grades in middle school!

take art, and 60 don't really care...they thought art was "easy", right
above
a study hall. They are very surprised I expect them to do work/put
forth
effort for a grade. (So I went from bring the "nice art teacher" in

the "mean art teacher" in HS!) >>
Melissa...Thank you so much for putting my sentiments into words. It's
good
to know someone else is feeling like I do. It's kind of like the glass
being
half full or half empty. I try to concentrate on the positive energy,
even
though it's not always easy.
