Saying hi from snowy Maine.
Rented Collateral and The Station Agent from Netflix this week.
The Station Agent was very good with exceptional acting and a really, really good commentary track (the three leads plus the director)... I thought it was quite good ***1/2.
Collateral was excellent. Although Jamie Foxx is being nominated for Best Supporting Actor, in this movie he is really the star or at the least a co-star with Tom Cruise. This was excellently photographed and directed by Micheal Mann and well worth seeing. Definitely one of Tom Cruise's least likeable roles. ****
I got to sub behavioral ed, and special ed in grades 3-5, the move ahead program (kindergarters that were held back before 1st grade) and 4th grade ... None of the classes were easy ... In a lot of ways though liked special ed better, because of the ability to tutor one on one ... The Special ed day was by far the easiest .. Dealing with 7 year old with the maturity of 6 year olds with a bad cold, was very very difficult.
Never think that the life of an elementary school teacher is easy. And if there is a disruptive student in class, they will be with you all day.
Have a good President's day ... The Westbrook schools are off this week.

p.s. I need to see Million Dollar Baby soon. I am curious what people thought about it.

Sounds like teaching is going pretty well for you, glad to hear it. After spending some time in Vermont I don't know how you can stand the cold up there in Maine. It's brutal! Hopefully these latest storms are winter's last gasp before spring though.
