Monday Monday Monday. Can't stand that day, but i survived. There aren't many developments to update with except that the higher authorities "are looking into it". There are days when I wonder if just addressing the situation would be a better way of dealing with the problem but then again, we need to back up our accusation with facts and evidences. Until then, I have to play like I don't know, although I did ask Coach about it and he basically told me I was dealing with an individual that was far more capable of bad things than he let on and that I ought to be more precarious. Duly noted.
Alg2 - Did equivalent equations with calculator today. If my kids can get the steps down then it should help them on the test. I was going through my calendar and for a moment thought we were almost on schedule. Then I came to the awful conclusion that we are actually a unit behind. Bummer. I will have to share the news tomorrow and hopefully we can come up with a solution to our time crunch. Might as well mention that one to the Region guy too.
Alg1 - Went over the test. made some bad calls on grading and I have a feeling that some of the students "fixed" their answers while we were going over the test, then acted like they had the "correct" answer the whole time. Not cool. I've never dealt with a crowd such as this before. Usually the kids were very forward about changes they made or things like that but this was very interesting to see how they had changed things to make me question my grading. I ought to make copies of their tests from here on out so I CMA. Moved on to linear characteristics and what not. nice to be moving into something a little more interesting. at least to me.
MMA - eh. one kid was finishing a test, tomorrow most of them will be out for FFA stuff so why bother starting something new? plus i have to grade the tests, etc. eh. Meh. ready to move on with our lives.
Geometry - went through converse theorems about angle pairs and parallel lines. some kids get it, the rest are just shaking their heads and putting crap on the paper. ready to move on there as well. Testing this week and then we will move on to triangles. Yay! something different!!!
but anyway. need to catch up on grades because its almost the end of the six weeks. I need to call parents and I'm not excited about this. I need to send out an email or letter too. Things to add to my list of things to do. Maybe tomorrow I can get some of that done? I hope so! Now it is time to pay bills and then grade more papers. Food. i should eat food at some point. oh and ive thought about taking up swimming again for some physical wellness. i'd really like to but the time. who has more time they can give me? all right. I'm out. laters.
