Looking Ahead…and back.
The weak ahead will be interesting. The AP US exam is ten (school) days away. I have five days to get as far as I can. Next week will be a week of AP exams and our students do not have to attend their classes if they have an AP exam. That will make class interesting. I will host review each day this week and during class next week. My students are not reading and I am very concerned. I haven’t made it to WWII in our class material. That’s bad. I don’t know how anyone teaches ALL of American History in one year. I have never taught at a school that didn’t break it up. I have worked backwards in review and that will help those that attended. Admin says that they are not concerned with AP scores. Lie. If the scores aren’t there it will reflect on me. I look back and there are a few things I would do differently. My summer assignment will change and we will get through colonial history faster. Early national will also get a time cut. I will have to manage the Civil War BEFORE winter break. More quizzes for reading. The students are obviously not responsible enough to be given a reading guide and self motivate. *sigh*
The end of school is near…





It’s almost here! You can make it!
I always tell my kids that if they’re responsible and read, I won’t give pop quizzes. If not…
I think I gave a pop quiz every week this semester. And our book reads at about an early high school level. Really? You can’t read 15 pages of that per week without me forcing you to?
