I just entered the grades for the 6th grade final exams and no one failed. I put the scores on a curve without knowing which person went with which score. When the dust settled, the most at-risk kid pulled through with a 69.7 average. Below 70 is failing. I won't have anyone for remediation next week.
Thirty-five years now down to 2 weeks of sorting out my room and planning what I do with the rest of my life. We had a day without electricity on Wednesday, so I got a good start on cleaning the classroom. Bulletin boards stripped, file cabinet cleaned, excess paper piled in the recyling box, materials passed to next year's science teacher, textbooks inventoried and hauled to the storage room, and a start on organizing the lab closet. I suppose this blog should come to an end soon. I'm contemplating whether to start one entitled "First Year Retiree".
