A school year has started for some of my former students today. They’re in college.
A school year started started a week ago, or longer, for students in other districts. But, I’m at home, typing this sentence, still with another week and a day until I have to go back. I’m really happy to see that many students who had little to no skills in high school have kept at it and ended up at pretty good colleges and universities. It’s a reminder that although we should still challenge our students, their performance in our classes might not be indicative of their capabilities. I tend to forget that since I (sometimes) feel that my class is the only one that matters.
Enough of this for now. Mostly here just to see if this all still works, as I may want to post a thing or two this school year.
