So another hilarious conversation was had with my opinionated girl. She'd be easy to do an interview with for one of my classes, I'll keep that in mind. Unless I want a challenge, and then I have someone else in mind. For sure. This other girl seems to retain material. What questions she answered on the vocab quiz were right. I feel like if she's knows it, she KNOWS it, which is most impressive. If only she could apply it and not snore in class. Speaking of vocab quiz, they had a vocab quiz today. It's definitely a bell curve. But shifted towards passing. Actually, that's what I'm assuming right now. The grades haven't been entered yet. I'm curious to see. My responsibilities certainly are expanding. Taking grading on full force. I'm going to get an in and out box for my desk for SURE to keep things organized. That's the AP kidlets anyway.
Onto the physics class. Today, I feel, was a difficult concept. Especially for those who are under-schooled and have never used a balance, it can be difficult. Even for students who are native speakers, using a balance for the first time or being forced to make a prediction is tempestuous at best. So apply that concept on today's class, add in multiple stations and yes I had to raise my voice. This class is certainly the trial period, and I feel like we figured out that they need to be given very explicit directions on where to go and when and how. Let's just say MARBLES EVERYWHERE. That was I want to say frustrating, but I've already used that word and I want a new one. But I can't think of one. All I can say is thank goodness jazz music exists. It's like an instant release valve on my brain. I'm a music lover all right. Maybe I can use that somehow...
