Posted on May 18th, 2008 by Carol

Tuesday: still no Teach-In
Posted on April 29th, 2008 by Carol
Today was the NCLB-mandated standardized test for math, so, once again, I sat in my student’s home while she worked on, and on. And on. Sixty questions. Although she is too ill to go to school, she is a cheerful and philosophical soul. She’s also extremely bright, so my docile compliance with state testing requirements [...]

A Teacher’s Thoughts on Daylight Savings Time
Posted on March 14th, 2008 by Carol
The time has sprung forward. This means it is still dark at 6:30, but it feels like 10 pm at 11 pm. (An insane practice.)
I have three dogs. They do nothing to support or enhance the household economy, or even bring home the dog biscuits.* It’s the last day of school before our spring intersession, [...]

Being homebound
Posted on February 20th, 2008 by Carol
What does it mean to be a homebound student?
What are the good things? The not-so-good ones?

Any advice for fellow students? Or requests for advice?
