Facebook friends. I'm finally on the cusp of triple digits. This comes as I'm reading Dean Shareski's Control is a Worthless Pursuit, where he rightly questions even trying to control our kids on the Internet - in reponse to this story about a school district in Wisconsin doing its best to stay even with a societal shift. I hope they give it up. Not only is it worthless, but it is a wasteful use of resources that should be directed not to control, but to teaching, leading, and guiding.So here I sit at 99 Facebook friends. BTW, none of them is a student of mine. I am a third grade teacher. But I do get emails from my students, yes I do. Time to wake up.

Are we friends yet? I am jfriesen on facebook... I could be your 100th!
Janice, yes we are friends - you were 105, I think - but who's counting? :)
I get those comments, too. They usually say: "Mrs. Henning. I just wanted to let you that I forgot to bring home my homework today, so I won't have it done tomorrow. Can I please have one more day?"
