Toughness, posted at 9:44 a.m.

Epiphany in Baltimore has moved to epiphanyinbaltimore.blogspot.com

I delight in being tough with kids early on. Don't have your homework? I might ask them why they seem to have a desire to fail. That was one line I gave to a kid in the hall today. Or I might just shake my head in total disappointment, and say you're not getting off to a very good start. I write sloppy on homework that has scribbles and take off points. They need toughness. Hopefully I can keep it up all year before nice laidback guy comes back.
