Shout out to mom for the delicious reminder of home in the form of cinnamon bread and to Ann for an amazingly uplifting card! You guys rock.
Riot this morning. Result: "Restricted Movement" - all students must have an escort when moving about the campus = no bathrooms, amazing.
Today I gave my students an A by letting them cheat...well almost. In front of them on their slanted, somewhat broken desks lay the key to their success on our exam tomorrow. It was the exact same test - just with different numbers. Some chose not to complete the task despite my repeated reminder that there was no excuse for not getting a 100% tomorrow because they were exposed to the precise test prior to their official attempt.
A glimpse into the chaotic and dangerous lives of some of my students - one young man failed to complete his homework the other day - when I asked why, he informed me that his brother had gotten shot the night before and he had spent the night in the hospital with his family. "I told him not to mess with selling drugs, but he didn't listen!" Concerned, I asked Ricky today how his brother was doing - still in the hospital but recovering well.
To the end of day: two of my students decided they had had enough and departed class through the window. In short, I had asked them to step outside the window for a quick second in order to collect the trash that someone in a previous class had thrown out. A student inside promptly closed the window, however, and Eberson and Oziel peaced out 5 minutes before the bell despite my requests that they regale us with their presence for a few more minutes.
Tomorrow I will administer a re-take with a little more material than last time. I hope they rock it and master these objectives!
