Just finishing up my work for tonight. Lfe has gone from quiet to hectic. Up at 5.15, 6.33 train, school by 8. Classes from 8.30 to 3.30 - not wall-to-wall, it just feels like it. Usually home by 6. Not as bad as it sounds. In bed by 10, but not tonight. I'm starting to get used to it.
Coming to the realization that a lot of these 8th graders just don't know the math that they should. Nice kids on the whole, but they all talk too much. Will probably spend more time going over the things they know rather than new stuff, no matter what NYC wants. They have an exam to take in March, and if they don't pass, I might be looking for work elsewhere. Accountability is the word of the day.
Going through a lot of printer toner at home. They won't do photocopies for us at school.
