Hmmmm....well I'll just keep one of the posts of gobbly-de-gook from texting my "mobile post" number....thanks Google...works really well (?)
Now to repost it, as it should have been. It was simply a post of thanks to the wonderful people in Santa Fe who probably have an average teaching experience of 0.2 months. Their "rheeforms" are fabulous.
Today I was out on the football field conducting my 2nd annual Tater Toss (think Punkin' Chunkin' on a smaller scale). A great way to understand the physics behind machines such as catapults, trebuchets, and air cannons (potato guns, actually) is to build them. And that is why I assign this to students, and they love the hands-on opportunities.
About halfway through the morning, I had a student (let's call her Jack) come up and give me a tardy slip. "Hey you," I said smiling, "Where ya been?" "Oh, just making up my Discovery Testing," she said. "Wow....just think, next year your performance on that test will determine part of your teacher's evaluation." "Really?" she said. "I'm totally going to bomb it now!"
Thanks Santa Fe....reform THAT.
