Pressure cooker

Well, it's been a rough month. To say the least. Prior to the break, the kids took benchmarks (the 2006 TAKS release tests). Their math performance was, uh, pretty bad. And the real test looms April 18-19. So for the next few weeks, 2/3 of my class is being pulled out for math. I'm under tons of pressure. And I haven't been especially eager to post.

It was good to get out for spring break, that's all I can say. Sorry for the lack of detail, and hopefully I will provide more soon, but yes, I'm alive. I've been posting therapeutically about world affairs, which is a welcome distraction, but I've had my hands full enough with the teaching that I haven't wanted to comment too much about it here... I hope everyone understands...
