tomorrow is my wednesday

well, mcas is nearly upon us.

but, i will let that be for now.

monday was a surreal sort of day. it went by rather quickly and the students responded well to directions and went through the motions and managed to be productive, relatively subdued, and didn't drive me nearly as nuts as they did last week. writing was simple and mcas prep related, reading wasn't really anything and then all of a sudden it was lunch. weird.

there is an mcas "rally" (fuck yeah!) on thursday to get all of the kids excited to do their best and try their hardestestest and bestestest for the test so the state won't take away our money to solve the education problem that is massachusetts and the whole inbred-saturated public education system. my thoughts on standardized tests are best summed up in my final paper for grad school, entitled "Measure this". ha. i really liked that paper.

hopefully tuesday will bring more sunrays and sunbeams of knowledge.
