Forgive me…

September 23, 2008

Last year at this time, you, students, knew more. Part of this may’ve been your preparation in the past, but I feel like part of this is my fault. See, the last couple of years I had the curriculum all planned out and I really enjoyed my job. This year, things are different. Planning is more confusing and not as solid. Part of this was changing things to correlate to APUSH, but there’s probably much more than that. I know right now that my students aren’t as prepared as they’ve been in the last few years. Sure, some students are doing well, but many of them came in knowing how to write. Having an idea of how to write. But you know what? You’ve not done AP timed essays yet? By now last year I can guarantee at least two if not three. I’ve scheduled one for October 16th, but is that soon enough? It’s as soon as I can. I know this sounds random but it’s what’s on my mind and I’ve not written recently. We’ll see how it pans out.
