Day Forty-Five - 187days I don’t think I’ve actually written about this very much, but the difference between last year’s ninth grade class and this year’s ninth grade class is enormous. This year’s class arrived so much more...

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Every time I teach my APGOV students about an aspect of the government, they ask a bunch of hypotheticals to try to figure out whether it can be broken/exploited/corrupted. That's telling about their political socialization.

Day Forty-Three - 187days This morning, I redid my Global Studies lesson by taking a reading assignment and turning it into a presentation on slides. It was about some of the customs and traditions in Christianity, particularl...

Day Forty-Two - 187days Today was so squirrely, and the fact that we had a fire drill with new evacuation procedures did not help. I mean, the new procedures do help- the whole process is more efficient- but students were so...

Friend who saw me checking tickets at the last football game was not prepared for just how aggressively I can fake being an extrovert. But I basically do it daily as a teacher, so I’ve gotten lots of practice.

Had parent-teacher conferences today until 5:30, have a packed teacher workshop day tomorrow. But! Our traditional potluck lunch is happening, so obviously I made pie.

Day Forty - 187days Today was an early dismissal day for students, and a late afternoon for teachers because we had parent-teacher conference time. We had 15-minute conference slots parents could sign up for from 12:45-5...

I have a test coming up in APGOV, and originally I planned to give it on November 4th and 5th (MCQs one day, FRQs the next). But I forgot there's an early dismissal on the 5th, so I have to move the test back... to November 6th and 7th. Those numbers are haunting me now.

Our football team got crushed tonight, but they raised thousands of dollars for cancer research- in honor of one of our recent graduates- and that's amazing. Proud of those boys.

Every administrator in my building was wicked busy today. Why? Unclear. Just one of those days in which everything happened at once, I guess. My little corner of the school was pretty chill, though, so that's a win for me.

One of my students speaks Spanish as his first language, and ever since he found out that I can speak it passably well, too, we’ve been having a bilingual chat before the bell. It’s super fun when his classmates hear me switch languages because they look at me like I’m magic.
