A Teacher Losing It--and A Student Finding

I was perplexed when, last Friday when I was about to give the students' evaluations back to them--something that had taken a big hunk of my three-day Veteran's Day weekend--I couldn't find the evaluations.  They were NOT in the sheet protectors I was using as a folder for each of the students.  Yesterday when I returned from Greens, I could find only ten of the twenty-five, so I printed them out all over again and checked the nearly-meaningless boxes the ESL Department created to satisfy standardized SLOs.  Then after I gave them all back to the students in that section of my high intermediate listening and speaking class, I noticed that one student was passing papers around.  I'd used her sheet protector as a catch-all for all of them.  So it goes.  I lose it.  They find it.  But they find that I'm losing it, no doubt.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
