Second On-Site
Friday I had my second on site with Ms. Greene. My 5th block was at an all time low for student attendance. Between illness conduct and other related issues we had a grand total of 4. I was concerned about the topic and the ability of the students to keep up. The topic, Minimum Vehicle Speed from skid marks. The class started as I had anticipated, strange looks, glazed eyes, and responses as if I were speaking a different language. It was like jumping off a cliff, after the first steep it was the fall and get ready for the landing! As I continued the class all 4 and let me add that they were all non driving young ladies, something happened. There was a flicker of light, then it started to get brighter and brighter. The ladies came through like true champs. I may have only had 4 and I may be at an alternative school, but these ladies acted if they had the world by the tail. The picked up the process and was calculating speeds left and right. I also want to thank Ms. Greene what a pleasure to work with and thanks for you feedback.
