		<description><![CDATA[Just a little circle-time sharing&#8230;
One of my classes just loves to share. I keep telling them I don&#8217;t care, but&#8230;they keep sharing anyway&#8230; I&#8217;ve had to institute the &#8220;WTP?&#8221; rule. What&#8217;s the point?
&#8220;Last night, I ate Chinese food.&#8221;
&#8220;Thanks for sharing. And the point is&#8230;?&#8221;

		<title>Permanent Record</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t what your thoughts are on grade-grubbers, but I have mixed feelings.

		<title>The Timer Redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one isn&#8217;t exactly a rerun per se&#8230;let&#8217;s call it more of a rewrite&#8230;
This year&#8217;s crew has been a bit more, shall we say, trying, than any in recent memory. They&#8217;re nice enough for seventh graders and all, but they are really frying my bacon this year. So I have to get my kicks where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Integral</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were going over this week&#8217;s academic words pretest today, and when we got to the word integral, I was searching for a way to differentiate it from inherent, which is another word this week.
&#8220;Inherent is sort of like &#8216;built-in,&#8217; part of the &#8230;being of something. Like&#8230;you were all born inherently good, unless there was [...]]]></description>
