At The End of the First Quarter

Busy day. I said to myself, and to others, that any non-teaching periods could not be use to meet with people, this one day, because I had to focus on finishing grades. And yet. A student was having an issue and her guidance counselor was out and she asked to please speak to me. Of course.

In classes we did the Netziv about how screaming without words can be prayer as we see from the end of Perek Bet of Shmot. We also did different opinions (did I blog this already?) about why the Jews cried out when the evil king died. Rashi - He had tzara'at, which is compared to death, and he bathed in blood of Jewish babies. Ramban - The new king was worse than the previous one. Sarna - It was normal for a new king to grand amnesty to slaves/prisoners, but this did not happen.

Miles to go before I go home.
