Never grade papers after 4 pm on a Friday
Trust me. Only tears and frustration this way lie.

1. My dear huskerlaw!
Is there any way you can do it over the weekend?

Go home, sweetie...

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with it...:hug:

2. I should be more specific
not tears and frustration for me, but for the students when they see their grades! :evilgrin:

I'm feeling rather heartless because I really am not in the mood.

Either that or they really were exceedingly stupid this week.

:hug:

3. Well, I'm glad you're feeling OK!
There's nothing wrong with feeling heartless!

4. An old rule in my company ...
Deliver Good News on Friday, bad news on Monday.

Let them enjoy the weekend on a HIGH NOTE ... give them have a week to recover.

5. I remember those days.
Fortunately, I was only a teacher for four years. After that, I got on zoloft and got a new job.

6. That is why God invented weekends, dear.
Friday 4 p.m. to Monday 8 a.m. is a No School Zone.
