Wednesday, June 14, what a joke of a day. Students are supposed to come to school for two periods, to sit and do nothing, no matter what anyone proposes. The one class I teach is comprised of graudating seniors who know their grades are already set. We all know there is nothing I can say that will interest them. The poor tenth graders will have almost a two hour break before they take the World History Regents. Wouldn't it have been better to let these kids stay home and sleep so they will be rested for the long afternoon exam? Wouldn't it have been better to make sure they were home and well fed before this exam? Once again, it's not what is best for the kids but how can we make our schools look good for the press!
