This will be short, I apologize. But in all my musings throughout the day, I've come to several conclusions, a few of which I'll post here.
Highschool Teachers are Brisk: I've noticed that around 9th grade, teachers lose some of the familiarity and personal bonding to students that usually attributes to small classes. As schools get bigger, as is happening all over, and classes get harder and more time-consuming, teachers lose time with which to bond with students. I've bonded easily with teachers all my life, and coming into Highschool is a bit of a shock when they hand you material with a formal air or answer questions curtly in a way of saying "How can you not understand this? It's simple." It's a bit of a shock for me. I'm in all PreAP classes (Just like honors) and I suppose that's the way it goes.
I'll post more later. I should also change those pictures; I got my braces off in August.

I'm always impressed by your insight. You're right that the older you get, the less involved your teachers are. It's hard because they have to be the boss & lay down the law so that students won't take advantage of them. But keep up your infectious charm & maybe those teachers will warm up sooner or later!
Jenn, you definitely need to get a new picture. You don't have braces any more and you are such a grown up lady now! PLUS you need to update your blog! I must have my share in the conversation :) love you Jenn, smoochya!
