He didn't go to tutoring to seek the help he needed on one topic and while he was welcome to review my notes, all the answers weren't there (for him to just copy). And he was in all 3days we have covered this particular topic. He has a different lunch than I, and I wouldn't meet with him during his lunch (because I have students). When asked if he would take the test on Friday instead of Thursday, mom said "no, he won't be in school Friday. BECAUSE IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD!!" <br><br>I assured her that while the Mayans were very good mathematicians, that they were wrong on this and the world wasn't going to end. <br><br>Now he's got a test to take upon his return, any bets on how he'll do?<br><br>Scott Hillshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04552324687060580556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374836660007193650.post-33902408328808093142012-12-21T07:59:39.530-05:002012-12-21T07:59:39.530-05:00I so wish we had exams before break!

Instead, we come back for 3 days of school and then exams. Doesn't make sense. It would definitely make these last days less painful if we had exams now.<br><br>I like my job too much to say what I wanted to say. :) But I appreciate your offer to take care of that for me!<br><br>And Mark, what's downtime?

I really wish I was across the hall from you because I'd have told her what you really wanted to say. :)<br><br>I'm like you - I don't know what they're thinking this time of year. And you still have exams when you get back after break?! I can't imagine. I'm glad we're getting our stuff over with NOW and starting new courses. <br><br>But I know I will be looking for a local firing range this weekend and asking for membership dues for my Christmas present. Either that or I'll need bail money.<br><br>@approx_normalnoreply@blogger.com
