I think I was too tired to care how today went. Yesterday was spent finishing grades and thinking of game plans for the next couple weeks. See, you can't give a kid a grade without a reason and a way for that student to "fix" that grade. The student will then not follow through and by the time you need to turn in grades again, the grade will be even worse but you're expected to show leniency and all that for the student who didn't keep up their end of the bargain. Is it all for show? Possibly. The best part is when the kid shows up telling you they recognize they need help and you sit there and help them figure out what they need to do and they expect you to forget the part where they need to work and expect a better grade anyway. Have I been sitting myself up for that one somehow? Whatever. Plans have been put in place by myself, the students, the coaches, the FFA guy, a couple parents... Seems like a recipe for disaster. (Haha)
Alg2 - did quadratic stuff today. Happy to just get through the paper.
Alg1 - correlations today. Not to shabby. They tried to distract me with zombies but I got it back on course with ants and crickets.
MMA - the paper was shorter than they expected and they were excited to know we got done so quickly. We joked around like old times and I think they enjoyed that. Back to work tomorrow.
Geo - they have homework when they didn't need to have homework. Going through similar triangles so I hope this al goes quickly. Depends on them but I know where we need to be and so I keep pushing and tutoring once a week for athletes has now come into play. So much for leaving early, might be nice for some extra compensation but I keep trying to remind myself it's not about the money. At least for now.
At the end of the day, it amazes me how many kids show up for school day after day. Makes you wonder what home is like when they'd rather be at school than home. Or maybe, just maybe, they actually like learning. Ok. I'm trying to hit the hay early tonight. I hope. Need some sleep. Laters.
