My favorite summer gig’s are camps. I love camps, because you can do the fun stuff without any of the hard stuff. I’ll do that in August. By the way, fun stuff is showing how to do new stuf and letting kids learn how to do things. Not fun stuff is writing and grading tests.
Speaking of the not fun stuff – that’s my second favorite summer gig. I don’t get why other teachers don’t do this – we have to have a final one way or another, and I would MUCH rather get paid extra to write a final and not have to grade it. Our final is much better, statistics wise. I’ve got about 10 questions to rewrite on the Fall exam, haven’t seen the Spring.
I did get some bad news – some of the schools are moving from the regular CS I to PreAP. That’s a shame as I see a definite difference in CS I and PreAP students and I hate to see the CS I kids lose the opportunity. My CS I kids just cannot handle the PreAP work.
I have also heard that CS I is being dropped completely from one school.
