Catching up
It's Feb. 21 and here are some of the things that have been happening:
H: I am two weeks behind, somehow. I don't know exactly how other than the general sloth of this group. They had to do nuclear over the break in order to start to catch up. I have to sacrifice interaction for time; I will tell them that just so that they understand what is going on.
First MOChem test resulted in about 8 perfect papers while there were almost as many 50s or 60s. Clearly, there is no hope for those. I expect them to leave after some bitching.
I have to write some brutal makeups for after the break for those who conveniently miss class every time there is a test. They will learn this time.
R: Must pick up the pace a bit and pare down what is taught. Keep using the orange book and supplement with the text manual.
A: remind them of the 75 days left; things are generally good with them, the last AP group that this sports-school will see, sadly.
