school daze
Sometimes... you just gotta wonder....
Case A:
"Dear Ms. A [the physics teacher], I was talking with my sister about spiders today and I remembered that one of my friends had said that spiders crawl out of your mouth while you sleep, not regular spiders, but spiders that the body produces or something like that - not actual bugs."
Case B:
"Hi Ms. S, I was just wondering about the free response if I have to do them or not... thank you, R"
[ed note: free responses are a type of lesson in cyber school where they have a blank box that they can type a short answer in. I use these lessons probably 2 or 3 times a week, where they have some activities to do, then answer some questions at the end, which are sent to me]
"Hi R,
I am not sure what you are talking about - your question is rather broad. Could you be a bit more specific? What lessons are you talking about??
Ms. S"
"with the free responses am i to do them or not"
...
Sigh.
Sometimes kids are great though....
I posted a lesson where kids were encouraged to tell next year's class their words of wisdom concerning Biology... here are some exerts...
MRS. S IS THE PALCS DEVIL!!!!!!! Just kidding! =D
Mrs. S is an excellent teacher that has high expectations for her students. She is very demanding but very interesting.
[ed note: yeah apparently because I am a teacher, I am automatically married.]
Above all else she can be tricky WATCH OUT and get to know her Ms. S is an awesome teacher HAVE FUN!!!!!
E-mail Ms. S with any questions, even if you feel stupid about it. She answers them and helps you out, without judging you.
All I have to say is that Ms. S is TOTALLY AWESOME, listen to what she says! She does actually know stuff ( thats for all you high and mighty teens out there!
) Also TURN IN YOUR ASSIGNMENTS ON TIME!!!!!! you deffinetly get a better grade that way! Do try to stay a head, and try not to fall asleep during Ms. S's mp3's! (LOL Ms. S!
) [ed note: some students have complained that my voice on my mp3s is "too soothing" and they fall asleep!!!] come into this class having a good attitude and Biology will be 1000x more interesting. And the projects are GREAT!! oh yeah, ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS!!( if you are having trouble) how do you think Ms. S got so smart huh?
Don't try to slide through the class. It's much more fun when you try to learn instead of just trying to get an A. If you do have questions, do not be afraid to ask them; Ms. S. is glad to answer any questions you have, AS LONG AS you have already gone through the material she has given.
This was my favorite class this year and the best advice is to open ALL of the Powerpoints and MP3s because she simplifies the lessons presented in the book and makes them easier to understand. DO NOT be afraid to ask her for help, because Ms. S is the fairest teacher I have ever known as long as she sees that you are trying and DOING the work. My hardest section was Genetics, but when I went and talked to her she made it much easier to understand. And the projects are really fun, and are a great way to help your grade if your lessons are not so hot. Sometimes you can learn from research on a certain subject, get an A and bring your grade up a bit. Oh, Ms. S gives ALOT of Extra Credit, so pay attention and watch the Powerpoints to the end. Trust me!
My advice is work ahead cause then when one day maybe you don't feel like working on your Bio you don't have to. And if you don't get something ask her she'll explain it to you in a way that you will understand. Don't fall behind, you'll screw yourself hardcore. Don't just bs your work cause then when she asks you something that you would have needed to really do the work to understand and answer correctly you won't know. Don't get overwhelmed any questions you have she will answer.
Take plenty of notes! Don't put the big projects off. Then again...don't put any assignments off. Watch everything that's posted...even if their creepy movies like the Black Widow one. Their actually pretty useful, as weird or creepy as they are
So yeah... sometimes kids are really cute. I love being a teacher some days. :)
