The first day will be pretty hectic. I told the teachers to be patient because there were probably won't be a lot of school being done.

The program fosters communication between teachers and students. Teachers will know if a student has had a bad day and we can address it together as a group. We will ask a student what they dislike. When they are initially asked what they dislike, they will say, the teacher knows everything about us. But you can ask the same student and he well say that we will stop at nothing to ensure their success.

When you're in a district that's still short hundreds of teachers, I'll take 17 new ones any day,

I got to Tucson on the 6th and had a full schedule of classes that same day. The teachers were all willing to work with me and have been good about taking my situation into consideration.

It wasn't a pretty game. They slowed the tempo way, way down, took the air out of the ball. The flow of the game was not real smooth. But we did a good job. I thought the kids were pretty disciplined.

It's pretty clear that if something happens again, probably the first thing they're going to do is tell you to stay in place, and people should be prepared to stay for a number of hours to a couple of days.
