Test Dementia
My students didn't do as well as I'd hoped on their big test - the highest score (which becomes the "A") was 124 out of 137. Not too bad, but still... not many others were even close. I covered EVERYTHING in class! I gave them study guides! I told them specific things that would be on the test that they STILL missed! I don't know how many times I told them to read the instructions and review each section of the test before they turned it in, and they DIDN'T - AT ALL! Can I blame TV? I'd blame myself for being a lousy teacher, except that every question was answered correctly by SOMEONE. Bleh.
*returns to drawing board, with intent to bang head against it*
I'm exhausted, but I head off right after work to sing (maybe that should be "sing") in a benefit concert for our acting company/local arts council. I'm doing "Adelaide's Lament", which involves sneezing (a hetertofore hidden talent).
Only two episodes behind on the Office - can't hardly wait to catch up!
I'm excited - I'm seeing "Sweeney Todd" the day before Halloween, and a professional dance company production of "Thriller" (lots of fun, creepy numbers) on Halloween itself. Also, I have a strand of sterling silver skull beads destined to become holiday jewelry, which I think will probably impress my high school students. Woo! What are you all doing for Halloween?
