Michael is almost done with his first week of school! And it has been a surprisingly wonderful week. Despite what people have told us about all the students having major behavioral problems, Michael has been able to control all of them so far and has actually enjoyed teaching. We are very grateful he decided to teach juniors and seniors because there is a huge maturity level differences between them and the freshman and sophomores. Also Economics is an elective and contributes to his smaller classes. He has a class the first four periods of the day which leaves the last two for prep time. He is very grateful that his class sizes are very small. 1st period: 13 students, 2nd period: 7 students, 3 period: 12 students, 4th period: 11 students. Not too bad! There are obviously those troublemakers, but they haven't been uncontrollable. From day one Michael didn't put up with any cheek and I think that has made all the difference. Plus every classroom has an interactive white board, which ya gotta admit, is pretty awesome. No A/C, but who needs it when you can draw on your computer screen!
So far so good! Here's to the coming year!
