I was at an art gallery on Friday, so I missed Studio. According to Kira, this is what I missed. "Ms Kirkwood was at a funeral today, so Mrs. Graham came to our class (and Nicoles) "Girls, I need to talk to you about how you treat Ms Kirkwood, now she dosent know im doing this, and I think we shouldnt tell her because it might embarress her, but can you all please put in more effot for studio?? She really does stress and worry when you get behind, sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night because she realises someone hasnt handed something in *glares at me, then at Ruth* , and she wants you all to pass and do well. She has two little children and she has to pay money for childcare so she can stay after school to help you guys, now im not saying dont stay after school, im saying do, but dont waste your time, she is sacrificing time with her children, and no mother wants to do that, because she worries about all of you so much. She's such a young teacher and were all worried about her nerves, sometimes, I dont know if youve noticed but she has to step out of class and into the art office and take a breath because she is so overwhelmed by all of you. I know you all need her to help you but she needs to help herself first. She wanted to go to the funeral today but she didnt want to leave you all here without her, but I made her go, but the point it, please go more easy on her." I may have left some stuff out, but that was the main of it" (spelling left as is because I'm lazy) I feel so bad. So, so, so bad. I came to school prepared to glare at her, and ignore her completely because she missed a week of our lessons. I came prepared to demand an explanation, to blame her for the missing textas because she didn't remind me, to be annoyed at her because I can't do my printing without her there. Instead I found that she wasn't even there (except for the last five minutes, and then when she came and harrassed me during lunch... damnit woman. Just stop worrying!) and then got confronted with this stupid thing. Wow. She does care. Way to make me feel like CRAP. =[
