MY BRAIN IS MUSH........
Yesterday my sophmores had to take the CASEE exit exam. You have to pass it before you can graduate from high school. Isn't it early to be taking this test you ask? Nope, not at all. My brain was MUSH by the time I left. They started the test at 1pm and I left at 3pm so I could make it to my 2nd job on time. Linda and a few students did not leave until 5:30 pm!!!! And that was just the ENGLISH part of the test. Today they had to cover the math part. I had emptied my cubbords of half eaten bags of assorted chips that Pudd'n didn't want and brought them in for the kids to snack on when they would take a break from the test. I also brought some soda pop too. Glad I did, those poor kids were worked! Hell, I was worked with all the explaining I had to do with some of the questions. I had to read the questions through a few times myself! And the written essay part? These kids can't spell worth a shit. I never had to spell so many words in my life!
I was feeling kinda whimpy about feeling so worked after yesterday until I walked in the class room. Linda was dressed like me. We both had on volour sweat suits, no make up and hair in pony tails. I laughed when I saw her. The kids were whipped too, so all we did was watch a movie. And on Friday we'll do the same. I think I'll pick up some chips & salsa for the kids for Friday's class. They've earned it, they are good kids.
