-Insert Clever Title-: November 2008
http://wcdrums.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
I can't think of one. Monday, November 17, 2008. I'm toying with the idea of reviving this journal as a means of commenting on the joys of the public education system, relating funny (read: depressing) stories about my students, etc. Don't know if I have the motivation or not, but we'll see. Studying has become passe, an outmoded fad, yet another casualty of cable TV and the internet. My students know who knocked up whom on what trashy TV show, which celebrity is dating which, and how many touchdowns.

I can't think of one. Saturday, August 25, 2007. And I have Van Halen tickets. I have grievances with Microsoft too. Top of my list at the moment is why on earth they decided to make Office 2007 filetypes incompatible with older versions. Why, Microsoft? Why save as .docx when you can opt to save as .doc anyway?

-Insert Clever Title-: December 2008
http://wcdrums.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
I can't think of one. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. What do they teach you at that school? Nine out of eighteen HS Latin I students even attempted their homework last night, after yet another red-letter performance on the easiest quiz I could possibly have given them yesterday. Of those nine, four got full credit for doing a decent job. I hate this class. We'll see, but I won't be holding my breath. Most of my HS Latin I students seem to think that when I say they need to know this, they should glance at i...

I can't think of one. Friday, September 04, 2009. I exploit you, still you love me. So today I had finished up Latin 1 and begun my precious (this-semester-only) planning block when the French teacher came in to ask a question. I assumed it would be technology-related, but instead it was this: "What are your feelings on guaranteeing the president a captive audience? NPR tells me that the same thing is going on around the country. but should I really find that reassuring? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I can't think of one. Saturday, March 31, 2007. I've always liked Nickelback, ever since I first heard "How You Remind Me" on the radio. I still do, even though it's becoming increasingly cool to hate them. But I never liked them quite as much as when I saw this:. It's just not an option for me to go and watch some other band — who are only performing because they have some new record coming out — do our music. I have nothing against Velvet Revolver — I'm not familiar with their mus...It hasn't been a go...

I can't think of one. Monday, March 09, 2009. Ignorance is bliss and a low grade. 15 Latin 3 tests. Answers to the derivative question "Who was the English potentate. During the American Revolution? The King of England: 2. That's fine, at least they knew it was a king. Here's where it gets distressing:. 1 (England was the English potentate? 1 (Revolutionary War, Civil War, who really knows the difference? And my favorite, George Washington.
