A Teacher's Credo

We the willing,

Led by the unknowing,

Are doing the impossible

For the ungrateful.

We have done so much with so little for so long,

We are now capable

Of doing EVERYTHING

With NOTHING.

New Year, New Sked.

Well, the AB schedule is upon us now at UCHS. Yesterday was our first day back, A-Day (a.k.a. "Purple Day"--Monday will be B-Day, or "Gold Day"--everyone following? :]) and I have to admit, it went pretty well. Let's see how many of my seniors are prepared with their essay draft when I see them again on Tuesday....

Here's the rundown for my year:

A-Day Schedule

1st block--Planning
2nd block--12th II British Literature
3rd block--12th III AP Language & Comp.
4th block--12th II British Literature

B-Day Schedule

1st block--Literacy Center
2nd block--9th III Pre-AP Literature/Comp.
3rd block--Planning
4th block--12 III AP Language & Comp.

A total of about 95 kids. Wish me luck with all the essay grading! :-?
