new teachers don't usually get to do this

Yesterday our tiny staff of 4 got taken out to a nice lunch and were given the afternoon off so we could have a meeting to discuss the school's concept. We met with curriculum coordinators and the school's founders as well as some parents and the non profit organization that we're a part of. The aim of the meeting was to revamp, rewrite and rethink the school's current concept, which was written without the help of teachers!

Now that we know the children and the school has been established for almost 2 years, they wanted a fresher view on the original concept. We decided on class sizes, who should be admitted and the break down of the grades. It was amazing and inspiring and an incredible , once in a life time opportunity. Despite having sat in a board room for close to 7 hours, I left with a renewed appreciation for the school and my work.

I know many disagreed with his inKostinsinsy and I know this is a classic case of " can't blame the players anymore, let's blame the coach" but I think we have little to Gain-ey and will ultimately pay the Price (I'm done with the puns now).

Last night I heard the news of Gainey's decision to take over as head coach of the Montreal Canadiens and it broke my heart. Being in Berlin and with no one to talk to about it but my Ranger fan of a boyfriend, I went to bed upset and woke up frustrated. Another coach gets the boot in hopes of turning Montreal's season around, but I don't think it was the right decision.

True, he has only been coaching for a short time but like many fans, Carbonneau has become like a father to me (actual father show in picture). His reassuring grin and hideous ties made me feel optimistic even when our boys were struggling. Maybe if we'd given him the power center Montreal deserves, he'd have had a better chance at the Jack Adams this year instead of the Claude Julien. Gainey, you've torn this family apart!

Now like a true fan of the bleu, blanc, rouge, I will come around and ultimately support Bob behind the bench, until he messes up in which case I'll boo him with the rest of you. All I'm saying is we better win the cup now.

Happy 100th
