Sine Magister McAllister...

Waaa... He's leaving us...

And I had to find out first in the form of a half-baked library rumour and then on facebook!

Mrs. Diel: "I heard Mr. McAllister wasn't teaching Latin next year?"

Miranda: "But that makes no sense!"

Mrs. Diel: "I'm sure you're right"

Miranda: "Of course I'm right. Mr McAllister would never leave us!

Oh, was I naive! He's quitting and becoming the Integrated Technology Specialist or something! What qualifications does he have for that, I ask you? He doesn't even have cable! *sigh*


Anger: How, what, why? This makes no sense. How could he do this?!?

Disappointment: Only one more year and Christy and I would have finished... his first Latin 5's who had started and ended under his tutelage, though we had to skip 2 years each to manage it.

Understanding: Well, he wants more time with his son...

Sadness: But he's such a nice guy! :,(

Fear: Oh god, what if the next Latin teacher actually expects us to know Latin?

Silver Lining: Oh, well, what if I actually learn Latin?

Relief: He'll still be in the building, and he says he'll tutor me if I want.

Longing: What about all our plans for the Latin Curriculum?

Worry: What if the next teacher is really different? What if Latin next year is a lot of work and I can't handle it?

EMO: ---waaa....----
