Interesting day

I arrived at a meeting early today and got my new teaching schedule for Monday. I’m teaching computer science again, and I’m leaving my ELI kids.

I’m now teaching Algebra I repeaters, Computer Science (Visual Basic) I, PreAP Computer Science (Java), AP Computer Science A (Java) and AP Computer Science AB (Java).

I haven’t written any code almost a year, haven’t thought about CS in about that long, and sure haven’t thought about getting the kids to pass. I have no idea if there is any money.

I also have no idea what I am doing with those students.

Life is fun.

I have a feeling my TDD is going up, as I think I’m going to need cards to get this to work.

I’m going to try to keep in my the following:


  • I can’t do anything if my diabetes isn’t under control.
  • My diabetes isn’t under control if I am not exercising.
  • If I try not to eat, it just makes it worse.

    As you probably know, you shouldn’t have any problem picking up the VB. The new .net stuff is cool and pretty easy to work with. Stay away from the treeview control if you can. It does some weird stuff and evidently not many people use it, so online support is somewhat limited.
    I think it’s great that you’re teaching java at the High School level. These kids are going to be awesome in a few years. Learning Java is still on my ‘to do’ list. If you have recommendations as far as books or websites I’d love to hear of them.
