The Fall line-up, posted notes 

Two minute drill…including last minute trades

Coming distractions... so much to keep track of, too many choices and not enough time

Where the action is... behind closed doors, before it (the class roster) is posted on the front doors, after all the shouting and shoving was caught...off camera...a few weeks before the students are seen jostling for position, to be at the front (in my case at the back, to max out time on the playground)...the scene played out, where the true traders can be found, where every September "generates uncertainty" (according to the WSJ), the place where at least for the time being, the name itself is misleading...where every fall winners and losers are decided, on the floor of the “Teachers Lounge”

(if they look like they've been up all night when you first meet, greet them, now you’ll know why)
