We’ve updated Julia and Joe’s school picture galleries to include their class photos from this past year. Interestingly, Julia’s teacher, Mrs. Kammann, left Booksin for another school at the end of the year. That makes four teachers that have been driven to make a career change immediately after having our kids in their classes. And if you count teachers who left within a couple years of exposure to Julia or Joe, the number increases to seven. I’m not sure how to interpret this data, but it seems as though drawing the assignment to teach one of our kids might be hazardous to one’s career prospects.

As an aside, I just noticed that I’m not able to locate the kids’ class pictures for the year before last. Either they both managed to miss school that day, or the photos have been lost in the chaos that is our home. We’ll do our best to track them down.
