I really hate for things to end and the word "Goodbye" is like a curse word to me. I apologize to those of you who I did not get to talk to after class was over Saturday. I was very emotional and didn't want ya'll to see it!
This has, by far, been the most interesting, useful class I have ever had to take. Thank you to everyone for making it what it was. There will never be another class like ours!
I just came out of a faculty meeting where we learned that we made AYP again! I'm so excited...our BOE feeds us steak each year we make it. It's a great incentive! Not only that, our Science scores went from a 77% last year to a 92% this year!! We were celebrating of course!
On a different note, based on the fact that we had so many seniors failing the GHSGT and they have now passed, our principal gave us these "words of wisdom". I quote "If the student worked as hard as they did to pass the GHSGT, I expect you to make passing your class happen." What do ya'll think of that? Personally, I am a bit taken aback. I don't think I'll be "making it happen" just because someone says so!
I hope you all enjoy your teaching careers and keep in touch! I can found in a map dot in Social Circle GA during school hours and at home in Covington otherwise. Enjoy your time away from class and catch up on all the friends and family you have missed out on. I know I am going to! :)
Julie, I don't think it's right to ever "make it happen." That is not fair to all the other students who do everything they are supposed to do.
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes I think "make it happen" happens to some of our ball players. And I don't think it's right. I don't know that for a fact but I have strong suspicions.
What does "make it happen" teach the kids?
