As I sit here on a three day weekend, I am of course grading papers and tests.

Yes... there are exams in an art class. I know it is weird but I do give exams in my art classes.

As I am grading them I am beginning to understand the frustrated faces on my high school teachers when they handed back graded tests when the scores weren't what they expected.

But there are always those select few that have made grading these a joy. The smile that crossed my face when I realized that a few actually understand the material has really brightened up this dreary rainy weekend.
