I think my blood sugar is slowly lowering. We’ll have to see.
Today was a teacher work day. Got my student’s grades back. They had a very good passing rate on the final and a better overall passing rate. This is good as all of my students are repeating their class. As a result, I am starting to get a little bit of “big head.”
My knee is in horrible shape. The bad news is that the elevator wasn’t working and I ended up going up to the second floor a bunch of times. Unfortunately there is no elevator between my room and the main building, but it’s easier to up and down that flight slowly — for one, it’s steeper.
I’m worried about tomorrow.
Good news: there is very little change between my 1st semester roll and my 2nd semester roll for my ELI classes.
Bad news: There is a massive change in my repeaters classes. They are all over 25 students now. We had quite a few students who had flunked only 1st semester of Algebra I, they were also enrolled in Geometry and they are all gone now. (They all passed).
It’s going to be an interesting day.
Sure hope my truck is back.
I have some decisions to make. If I want to move to the new school, there is a January 31st deadline to apply. I don’t think I want to go, but I don’t want to burn that bridge. Also, my principal tells me that he has a computer science opening (I knew this). Of course that status could change, but I would have seniority. Of course that didn’t count last year.
So do I want to teach computer science? Or math? I’m leaning towards math.
Do I want to stay at my building? My biggest problem with my building right now is temperature control. It’s great out in the portables — that might be a plus for a new school. My old classroom was incredibly hot in the winter time.
Decisions!
