I teach junior high kids--all hormones, no brains. This would be Years 1-3 for Hermione, Harry, and Ron. I sympathize with Snape most days! They never think things through before they try to do them; some days I think they'll never make it to graduation! And then, one day one of them walks in with an invitation to graduation or comes to ask if I'll write a recommendation to help them get financial aid for college and I know, "This is why I worked so hard their years in my class!" |
