This week in October #bagart sometimes in darkest shadows, the man behind the monster can be redeemed…but the number of times the circle is completed is precious.

With finals and Regents exams coming up, after this week #bagart season is over for the school year. Time to get into that special kind of weird that can only mean Summer vacation (even though it’s not for a few more weeks officially).

Students: That’s not a thing. It’s not a water park.

A student asked me Gandalf vs Dumbledor this week and did not expect the 15 minute impromptu lecture on the difference between hard and soft magic systems and how Gandalf wins anyway.

Probably this bulliten board I did for 5th grade writing in 2014 would have been more controversial today…
