It was such a nice day back after a three day weekend, that I feel compelled to write about it.
I started with my current worst class and was stunned when they remained quiet through a spelling test. Bad classes typically like to make strange grunts and other noises or like to make a show of either cheating or not caring.
After that they got through the assignment with little trouble. Of course, this is the third time I’ve taught this lesson so perhaps I’d finally figured out how to teach the lesson.
The next class were doing a different assignment, and although a few of them were bad, they mostly did the work.
My last class of the day were also pretty good, although they were doing a filler assignment because next week they won’t have class.
I left school feeling oddly positive because it’s rare to have all three classes be good. Then again, I’m pretty sure that’s never actually happened before.
Of course, this means the next day of classes will be a disaster, but that may just be my paranoia.
