The little teacher that probably could, he thinks, maybe

On By Luther M. SilerIn Teaching

I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can

Literally all I have to do tomorrow is administer the PSAT and be present for (not even really “teach,” it’s the last day of the quarter on a day when I don’t see either of my other classes; no one is expecting pedagogical brilliance here) one single class, on a day before a five-day break where the kids know they’re going to be expected to take a four-hour test and thus will probably just stay home— I bet attendance tomorrow sucks. And then I have a teacher record day where I already have most of my grading for it done, then a four-day break. I can do this. If I didn’t kill anybody today I can make it through a standardized test with my homeroom on a day where I don’t have to see 3rd and 4th hour. Surely.

Yes. Surely.

  1. The things we do to kids…I mean, I’m a “grown-up” and old and mellow, but if someone, tomorrow, asked me to sit still to take a four-hour test, I’d be like, “Heck, no!” LOL

    1. For whatever it’s worth, it was four tests broken up over four class periods– 55, 30, 20 and 40 minutes. Still a stamina issue, don’t get me wrong, but not nearly as brutal as a single four-hour test.
