Apocalypse Now

Today during PD I learned that Tilden Middle School is the school of Satan. Here's why:

• Next year Tilden will have 6 teachers for each grade (6th, 7th, and 8th). in other words, 6,6,6.
• There will be 6 expressive arts teachers and 6 Special Ed Teachers
• Tilden is located on the corner of 66th and Elmwood
• "Tilden Middle School" has 6 letters in each word. again, 6,6,6.

Far too many sixes. But at least now I can assign some type of rhyme or reason for the degree of chaos. And oh, somebody was shooting on the corner of 66th and Elmwood at about 8:15 this morning with hundreds of kids outside too. I guess somebody didn't get the "Tell them we are rising" memo. :-\
