[MysterE]

::grins:: I continue to hope? It's an amusing balance. One way or another (and forgive me, students, if this seems odd) every member is my kid. I am with them for four years of their lives. I watch them move from shy freshmen to leaders and college students. I am always torn between running a family and running a team. in a family, I give chances and chances and chances. When other teachers talk crap about them or they find themselves grounded from Homecoming, I get to walk them through it. So, I continue to hope and to watch and to believe. I guess the difficulty is in supporting the team as a whole before the individual...or alongside the individual.
