We send our attendance down by hand. Most teachers balk at the idea of entering grades into a computer. Strange machines they are.
But still something magic can happen inside a classroom. It give kids a chance to connect.
But you can give the top students free time and they'll be enriching each other. You can bring Nobel Prize winners to teach the remedial students and they'll still struggle.
A fellow teacher has been expounding on this for a while. Perhaps I've always believed it but we don't always act on our beliefs.
But if I truly thought some couldn't be taught I wouldn't be going in to proctor an exam in a few minutes.
It looks like one more year of teaching high school. This hasn't been a total disaster after all. But then again it isn't 12:30. The morning always brings hope.
