The ONE thing I like about the place that I am teaching
This is the only thing I like about the place that I am teaching:
It's small size.
Today, when one teacher went on a field trip with her classes, 21 students were absent. In a typical school of 1000 or more, this would not even change most of the classes that happen in a day. At my school, half of the student body is not here. That means instead of having 10 students in a class, I have only 5. It makes everything much better on my stress level.
Those of you you who know who I am (granted, since this is my first post, not many) you know what type of students I attempt to teach here in NC. For those of you who don't, lets just say that 90% of my students are not the brightest lightbulbs in the billboard.
But anyway, I still had to "write up" one student today, as my class of two went to the library to do research. They had a specific job, with a specific set of directions, and my special person decided to throw a mouse pad for no real reason. Don't ask me why, as I have stopped trying to figure out why any of them do the things that they do...

Welcome, sir! And thanks for your kind remark over at my blog the other day.
BTW, consider yourself blogrolled! :-)
welcome to the blog world!! I look forward to reading some more about your students.... LOL... *just a thought..it was kinda hard to read the text over the bright spots in your background...* keep writing...
We're working on the text color problem.
The HTML-knowledged person in the house (aka me) is trying to write her thesis, and hasn't had a chance to experiment with colors for the text yet. Probably be able to fix it over the weekend :)
