Mysteries of the modern school

[jenett]

I came back from filling in one of my colleagues about our administrative meeting yesterday (much disgruntled wrangling about scheduling, not much time for me to talk about laptop initiative).

Anyway, came back to my desk to discover that my computer had acquired a very large pomegranate, from one of our Spanish teachers. I have sent her email going "I am delighted, but puzzled?" .

Just thought y'all might be amused.

I can't wait to hear her response! :-)

She has replied! She says that she saw them in the supermarket, big and gorgeous, and that she's going around doing small nice things for people as part of a week of thanksgiving about what's good in her life.

(The teacher in question is one of the most senior teachers here, and a lot of her closest friends in the school have retired or in a few cases gone elsewhere, so she's been feeling a little adrift, I think, too.)

How nice! What a great idea and a sweet surprise. (:

Wow. What a lovely thing for her to do for others and care for herself at the same time. :-)
